You may be correct. Mr Spalding (founder of LT) says that he still has control and largest stake in the company on his blog.

This press release mentions the agreement Cambridge Information Group has with LT. And all this just by having less than 9% stake.

So I figured Abebooks with Amazon would offer services and share revenue with LT eliminating the $10/25 fee. Unless Mr Spalding keeps the fee thinking only serious members would join.
