I'm not sure where you're getting that from . . . Amazon's pricing page for direct publishing focuses solely on royalties. Perhaps you're thinking of some kind of book-scanning service that has the additional fee?
For books published via CreateSpace there is a $25 flat fee for expanded distribution, and there can be a fee for an ISBN (which is better for one work than the fee you pay at the main U.S. ISBN site, but a bad deal if you want them in bulk).
Incidentally, Flayrah is on Kindle and I've only ever paid a royalty for that (though it goes through different distribution).
