For books priced at $2.99 or higher, their cut is about the same as everywhere else. Perhaps you should try pricing your books (or maybe just some, maybe the newer ones) at $2.99?

I haven't tried this, but I've seen a suggestion elsewhere for how to get free books into Amazon: Upload the same book to somewhere like Smashwords that will allow you to offer it for free. Once Amazon find it, they'll match the price, and it will be free at Amazon.
