As far as the upfront fee, is this the latest idea you have been told to put forward by apple as part of your job since we have all ignored your flawed attempts to excuse the 30% charge?

There IS no 30% charge for sale of Ebooks. I just want to nail that down, since you seem to be asserting, based on no evidence, this either is so or will soon become so. A number of magazines have already signed up for Apple's new approach. Apparently you know their businesses better than they do , since ytou are convinced they will fail. Let's see how they do.
Apple has an opt-in, rather than opt out approach for subscriber info. Everyone agrees that better protects subscriber info. THat's what I mean with regard to privacy.

I agree, Apple benefits by having the Kindle and Nook apps on the Ipad. Unfortunately, you seem to miss that Amazon and B&N benefit hugely, to the tune of millions of dollars of books that would not have been sold absent the presence of these apps on IOS. Amazon and B&N understand this, which is why no-one is rushing for the door.
