However, you're making the mistake of assuming that the production chain from author to consumer will be identical to today's chain. I am not making such an assumption.
You are making the assumption that costs are being borne by printed books, so eBooks are a "freebie". Maybe the industry is just getting ready for the future where that isn't a given-Bezos, for one, is pushing for that now.
