Their logic was that they should get the same amount of money for electronic copies as for paper copies (even though there are no production costs and even though they would sell thousands of copies). The really strange thing is that the agreement ISO already signed with me allows me to sell electronic copies at $125 each, so I could have made that deal without any further approval from them! Of course, $125 was also way too high.
