The publishers definitely take a risk, but back when I was involved in this, way before ebooks, the biggest part went to the booksellers. IIRC I got about 6% on book sales. If I ever do anything like that again, I'll be self-publishing, because the contractual shenanigans have left me very wary about dealing with publishers.
