Actually it's US$150 approx. for full global distribution, or
US$35 for ISBN only (listing in Books in Print), or no charge if
you don't need an ISBN.
For a book like the Developer's Guide, I would think the main
audience would be people within the OOo community, so an ISBN
would probably not be necessary.
As the book is maintained by Sun, keeping it up to date as a
printed book would need some coordination, if someone else wanted
to take it on. I suspect that the idea has been considered and
rejected as too much work for a very small number of likely sales.
