How is it any different from Windows PCs, Android phones and other platforms? I will help you out it is not different at all. Why would Apple get extra money for something no one else gets extra money for?

Because Windows is a purely an applications platform. IOS is an application AND a merchandising platform. Itunes is the largest music store in the world . The App Store is the largest software store. The bookstore apps are just that-bookstores within the Apple App store. That you don't understand this just shows that you don't and will never get it.

Apple benefits even more from the fact that content is available on its devices. So following your logic in fact Apple should pay to content providers.

Apple has lots of content on its platform. Its the largest media and software store in the world. Content providers are trying as hard as they can to get on the IOS platform.

Now this is just utter nonsense. AppStore does not distribute books much less hosts them. That is done by the application made by Amazon and B&N. AppStore hosts and distributes applications not content.

That's what I said. Read what I wrote.

Even if it were true (which I doubt) it would be against the interest of customers because if Apple gets a cut that will be paid by the customers that's for sure. So if it is true Amazon and B&N should be roasted for that.

Amazon and B&N are in the business of making money. They will do what they have to to remain on an immensely successful merchandising platform. If that means paying a cut to Apple, disappointing the vast numbers of folks out there who think Apple is wrong for asking for a cut, well that's what they will do.
