Apple doesn't allow a developer any other option for getting an app on the device*, while an author can sell a Kindle-compatible ebook anywhere. He could market it on his own website and keep 100% if he chooses.

Apple also doesn't pay for the 3G to deliver the apps to any users.

*That's what I've been led to believe...you can't side-load apps to an iDevice, right?
