Of course you don't. And you shouldn't. Because they are not adding any value *to you.*
They are adding value to the publishers/authors, however. And if those people believe that Amazon adds enough value to make 30% reasonable, they will happily pay it.
It's easy to figure out how much value amazon adds, though: (sales*price)-costs= total profit. Based on this, Amazon either adds enough value to be worth the cost or does not.
