Wholesale rate is the amount Amazon pay publishers for an ebook sale. Retail rate is the amount a customer pays Amazon for an ebook sale.
The problem (IMO) isn't those authors who works are being included in the lending programme in this manner. The problem is books where the publishers has signed up with Amazon for a fixed fee for including their catalogue in the scheme. Authors haven't given their publishers the authority to enter into such a scheme.
