Huh?
That's not what the people in the publishing industry are telling us.
They are saying that of that $7.95 paperback, the author gets about $0.70.
So, if it only costs $1 to print a paperback, costs for the publishers are up to $1.70. That means that the retailer and the publisher are splitting $6.25 per book.
That doesn't seem correct.
