As Derek said, I think it's strongly relevant.
And I haven't claimed that "every book by every author costs this much", I've said that for a book more complex and with more artwork than the average novel, the costs involved were far lower than the ones you have claimed.
I also disagree that few authors would be willing to front them, the online-sale RPG market is (again) dominated by (now that WOTC have removed themselves so thoroughly from it) authors doing just that, or at best with a few others.
Right now, very very few authors seem to "get it" on this (in the RPG field, people have had to, for several reasons). Bands are, increasingly, and books always seem to be a few steps behind...so I'm sure we'll see more and more authors take their own way to market in the years to come.
