I have no idea. But I'm sure I suggested that they OUGHT to do POD. Entire Catalogue.
On average:
Big name publisher ebooks are cheaper than Trade size copy in Bookshop, but not always cheaper than discount mass market in the Supermarket, but the supermarket discounted titles are a small percentage of titles.
Self published ebooks are either too cheap, or else gratuitously in multiple volumes to make them expensive for the entire "work". Many are priced reasonably.
Some books that are either out of copyright, or should be, are overly expensive as ebooks.
I prefer the paper version, though if the price is right I'll buy both.
