"writing a single book, and selling it thousands times over, is a bit to "easy" in terms of ways to make money"

$2 profit per book is perhaps a high figure that an author may recieve from the publisher. 2 x 3000 is $6000 for maybe months or years of work. And this would be a 'successful' author. It's not all JK Rowling out there ya know!
