> Looking at the price of the book, he wants to make money from it

The price of a printed book includes:

- the price of materials

- the price of printing

- the price of transportation

- the price of storage

- the margins and profits of all of the above

- the margins and the profit of the store

And then, and only then, the author making money, if any.

How is e-book going to impact the author's profit, exactly?

Manufacturing of a book is really cheap. It's just a little part of overall cost. Nowadays it may cost more becauase of higher prices of paper. Everything else is managed by amazon for their cut. Stop shilling. The author is just greedy.
