So ebooks are much cheaper than printed books then, right. Obviously not. All the work the publishers aren't doing on them, and the material savings in not even publishing them to paper ... but ebooks cost more.

So what are publishers doing in return for the higher sales price of ebooks?

Honestly? Book reviews. A literary agent will know lots of other authors who might be willing to write a review of your book. Good if you’re just starting out, unnecessary if you’re established.

And ebooks generally are cheaper; there’s a ton of $0.99 genre fiction available on Amazon.
