The profit margin on software is disgusting and is the reason why Microsoft, etc... became so insanely wealthy like they did.In the case of PDF's, those are created to publish a book to begin with. So if you published a book in print, that PDF already exists. So up to that point creating a PDF is no more expensive then getting that book ready to be printed.Its after that when the printed book costs go up even more, but the cost of creating that PDF stays the same.So a PDF is MUCH cheaper to produce then a printed book. IF the difference in cost wasn't substantial a lot more of these PDF publishers would be offering their books, in print, at Amazon and on store shelves, rather than maybe as print on demand at Lulu's.</blockquote>
