I can only think that he gets paid on a percentage of gross revenue basis. I can think of reasons why that makes sense....such as shifting the cost of the book from fixed to variable for the book seller.

The author should consider that the secondary market for ebooks is zero right now.....so in the long run, he might still generate more revenue on ebooks.
