For the physical implementation, yes, but then, the marginal cost of a pbook for just the book itself and shipping is the least significant part of the price. Royalties, retailer margin, profit, it all adds up.
If the marginal cost of producing and shipping pbooks is less than a dollar, I guess we should see ebooks a dollar or so less than their corresponding paperback/hardcover.
Well, son of a gun, they
ARE!
