What transporting? What Stocking? Amazon is capable of print on demand. Second the primary cost of books is not the physical it is the human effort(writer, editor, layout). Perhaps people who do E-book layout are more costly than their paper counter parts making those books more expensive.
- vijayr 16y agoYes, Amazon is capable of PoD. But most books are not printed by Amazon, they come from big name publishers. And big bookstores even charge a "stock" fee. All these quickly drive up the price of a paperbacks (or hardcovers). None of these apply for ebooks though. I don't know how much "book layouts" cost, but I doubt they are such a big factor to drive up the ebooks cost.
