Why are eBooks more expensive than paper?

Stephen_king

If you have any thoughts on this, I'd be happy to hear. Personally I can't understand why Stephen King's latest book is £12.99 on a Kindle, £8.99 as a paperback and hardback is £8.20.

If the Kindle were free, I would understand that the ebooks need to help subsidise the cost of the device. Only the Kindle costs more than £100, and whilst I doubt Amazon make a huge profit from the device, I doubt it makes a loss.

Any suggestions?
