Compare the price of a physically printed book which is in the public domain to the median one that isn't. The prices are only a little lower because the printing and distribution costs are significant.
Now compare the price of ebooks in the public domain with ebooks still under copyright. The latter isn't 40% more or 75% more, it's a billion percent more. Infinitely more. Copying went from being a double-digit percentage of the price to being zero.
