This is what an author told me when I said to him that I bet the extra money publishers made from the price of ebooks didn't go to the author.

Generally the percentages for authors are this: HB 7 – 15% MMPB 6 – 12% whilst on an ebook it is about 20%, so yes, the author is getting a bit more. Oh and remember, when a book is sold at a discount of say 20% that comes off of the percentage the author gets. Incidentally, retailers get the books from the publisher for as much as 50% off the cover price.
