Yeah, I noticed that too! Fiction books seem to be absolutely worthless, too. I have a bunch of hardcover Stephen King books that I wanted to sell, but people are selling them for less than a dollar each. I think they're making a tiny profit from the shipping credit that Amazon gives you. For standard shipping, that's $2.26, Amazon takes a dollar plus 15% of the sale. If they sell something for a penny and the shipping costs less than a dollar, I guess they could make some money if they have a very high volume.
