Your making the mistake of applying the retail profit to the publisher. Most buyers only pay 50% of the cover price to the publisher. This brings your numbers to: Margin = price - cost. Hardback: ($25*50%)-$5 = $7.50 margin E-Book: $10 - $0 = $10 margin
PRMan it's nowhere near as clear as you would like to make it. Especially if it's written by a consultant. http://www.tms.org/pubs/journals/JOM/matters/matters-9608.html http://www.troutmansanders.com/who-owns-the-code-beware-copyright-pitfalls-01-30-2009/
