Please, I'm open to ideas.

There are a huge number of unknowns here, and very little actual information, versus commentary, anonymous blog posts and guesswork.
Apple's statements been few, and vague on what exactly is affected, beyond saying that magazine subscriptions are, everything else is unknown at this point.
Maybe they are being deliberately vague so that they can sent this up as a trial balloon and see what the reaction is. Maybe it is just corporate inertia. Maybe it is affected by Job's health, and there is a vacuum at the top, who knows.
IF it turns out that this 30% cut applies to all ebooks sold that can be read on iOS devices, then it is a big deal, but noone knows that yet.
