Interesting that amazon takes 65% on .99. A lot of apps in apple store are .99 and as far as I know apple still takes only 30% on those. Maybe it's true that apple is just breaking even on the app store. Not so evil as we've been led to believe.
Btw, even "expensive" apps from big names like EA will occasionally go on sale for .99, when they rocket up the sales chart. Unlike widgets and iThingies, it costs nothing to replicate an ebook or app once you've produced the first one, so you can't lose money on every sale unless you price it lower than your transaction cost.
