No I am not mixing. With the old model iFlow bought the book from the publisher with a ceratin discount. But to be able to compete with for example Amazon they cannot sell the book at the list price. So What did the sell the book for? If the list price was $20 and they bought it for $10 and sold it for $15 they earned $5. In the new model they have to sell for $20 and will then earn $6.
