This ignores the fact that there might be a fixed cost per book. If it is 10% of the current book price, then you are making no profit. Books don't just grow on

This ignores the fact that there might be a fixed cost per book. If it is 10% of the current book price, then you are making no profit. Books don't just grow on trees. It also assumes that I have time for 10x as many books because they are cheaper. Currently, my time is more of a premium than my convenience or money.
