One of the things I don't get from the breakdown that was in the New York Times article has to do with Design, Typesetting, Copyediting. As I do editing and typesetting for both p and e, I do not see any difference in the cost; my fees run the same. Perhaps the difference is that there is no "design" for ebooks?

Also, all of these costs are spread over a whole print run in the case of pbooks. Absent the print run, I'm not sure how costs are spread over ebooks.

Lots of explanatory questions remain with this breakdown.
