Okay If i understand the numbers then with amazon, after your own production costs you end up with 49% of the retail price from a book, that needs to cover everything everything else like the fixed costs of producing any book and any per copy obligations. The ebook currently gives you 35% Well I admit the sheare amazon offers you doesn't sound like a great deal for the kindle store but what worries me is you giving an example to get the same amount of money from an ebook sale. You'd also want to subtract the approximate resale value of the used pbook from the ebook value since there doesn't see to be an agreed on way to sell second hand digital stuff but a pbook has at least to the consumer built into the price what they could get for the used book, kinna like the deposit in a glass bottle. Keep the bottle never get your nickel back but the return for deposit option is there.
Going to repeat it, doesn't look like amazon is being very nice to you, not taking their side.
