There's no *physical* costs involved, like there are for printing. But taking the time and applying the skill to format a book correctly are costs, whether or not anyone gets paid in bankable currency.
Actually most of the so called physical cost in printing are really set up and proofing costs. The run is pretty automated and paper it cheap. It costs less than a buck to print a book including binding it.
