Books are typically release in Hardcover first and people are paying a premium to get it then versus waiting on the paper back version that may be a year down the line.

yeah i noted that in the paragraph in my post immediately following what you quoted.
in any event the cost of the materials in a paperback don't come anywhere close to the actual retail price of the book.
