Doubtful.
After all, they're not doing as much on their end to earn their share of your business as with the 47th Street books, which involves pbook distribution and warehousing.
Their self-publishing terms say it all: 70% royalty on books priced from $2.99 to $9.99. In that range they don't care if you go for volume and visibility or maximum per-book revenue, or for that matter, if you throttle pricing, changing it regularly up and down regularly as some authors do.
Wouldn't surprise me if their per-book net on their own imprint were around $1 when all is said and done. Just a WAG, of course.
