Yeah, see,
that's the part where you didn't take it into account, you'd kinda
have to say something about it in order to take it into account. Just because you didn't mention it doesn't mean it's not relevant.

But it will depend on the book. An old trade paperback probably won't go for anything. Other books will go for more. But we were discussing DRMed eBooks - which are priced higher than hardcover pBooks. So, to keep the comparisons the same, we need to think about hardcovers, not cheap paperbacks.

Evidently you missed the bit where I specified that most of the books I sold
were hardbacks.

Does Mobipocket sell non-DRMed books, then? I didn't realize they did, but then I haven't dealt with them.
