The same is true of eBooks! Quite astonishing.

That's insane! I didn't know that at all. I was labouring under the impression that the lion's share went to the publishers. So that then means that if a writer, say a Stephen King who has more money than he could ever possibly spend, set up an online imprint of his own, he could offer ebooks at a substantially lower price than other online retailers and make even more money? I wonder why none of the big writers has done this yet?
