The cost of the Kindle version should be the price of the hardcover/paperback minus the cost of making those, plus a tiny Amazon fee on top for the hosting/bandwidth/etc.
Software doesn't work like this. Microsoft might spend a lot of money to develop the first unit of a new program, but every unit after that is virtually free to produce.

I'm sorry to crash your hopes and dreams, but nobody's going to power anything with a Krups Coffina 223 coffee grinder.

Going by the number of times they've done that, I'd say Movie Pass has gone Robot Chicken.
