Although the latter might seem more beneficial for authors, e-books are priced lower than print editions and have significantly lower production costs, which if we were to do the math, results in less earnings per unit.

If production costs are lower, how can earnings be lower — unless the sale price is ridiculously low? Can you give some numbers as a “frinstance”? Thanks.
