It's not a trick. The book costs 59.99 to buy retail price. You can get it cheaper obviously, Amazon discounts the book to 41.99.
Fantasy grounds doesn't own the rights to the book, they have to pay Paizo a licensing fee for each item sold, they also need to pay the people that turn that book into content usable by you and others within the program (this does not happen magically) and then they need to pay for the programmers, staff, rent, utilities, etc.
FYI, HLO is similar, you will end up paying for each book also.
