You lost me. (I don't actually speak "business;" I speak algebra, which almost substitutes for an awareness of business accounting. At least, I can thoroughly confuse the sales reps I work with by throwing numbers at them.)
What pbook overhead? (Not being sarcastic. Confused.) Is it something that only exists on the pbook side? Or something that has equivalent ebook costs?
