Let me tell you, it takes some balls to screw your suppliers *and* customers this way ...
I thought I have read the "small print" on Amazon rules very carefully, but this is news to me.
I am going to buy myself a bucket of popcorn maize, crank up my popcornmaker (that I got to roast my coffeebeans) and watch the titans clash.

Yes - when you opt for 70/30 that only means in US, UK and Canada everywhere else 35%. Also they still charge me on the "author" side .9 cents - for the delivery that they charge you $2 for.
Huge Big Brass Cojones doesn't begin to describe it. As a businessman I have nothing but admiration for the model; as a user it hurts - but better than nothing, at least they have given us a chance. Under the old model I'd probably still be writing letters to agents ;-) or not.
