The ebook has to be converted into about 5-7 different formats roughly. All that costs money too. Do you think once the book is in electronic form to go to pre-press, it doesn't have any more expenses associated with it?
And how do you explain how at least 3 sites offer eBooks for Free? (Gutenberg, Munseys, ManyBooks.)
And how do you explain low cost sites? (Like Fictionwise.)

Yes. It is that simple.
