I don't know if I'm seeing the situation correctly, but this is how I see it:
Publishers - they pay a team of dozens (or sometimes hundreds) of highly-skilled people to work for a few years, besides the fixed costs such as rental space, hardware, software licenses, logistics and advertising.
Retailers - they rent a few square meters of space, pay minimum wage to a bunch of (mostly) clueless college students, and spend some money on logistics and advertising.
Of those two, who do you think should have the higher profit? Maybe I'm being naive in my mental picture of each one's costs, but I think it's unfair to have retailers profiting as much or more than publishers do.
