There was a discussion on the yahoo e-book community group about that and Fictionwise takes 50 or 55% of the "cover price". The e-authors posting there felt it was acceptable for the exposure, since Fictionwise is to a large extent the e-book retailer of reference for now at least for unencrypted stuff.
So I tend to agree that it's going to be very hard to make a living (authors, retailers...) in the e-book business at low price points, and conversely, people do not want to pay too much for e-content. That to me is the ultimate dillema for e-books, more than drm and the Tower of Babel in formats.
