Apple is the middleman here, they are doing nothing at all once I have downloaded the kindle app and yet they seem to think they deserve 30% for the huge task of hosting that tiny little app while conveniently ignoring the benefits they get from the very existence of that kindle app which makes their tablet a more appealing purchase.
