It's both. One publisher (distributes through IPG) has commented that Amazon wanted better ebook terms also. More precisely they demand a larger share of revenue from each ebook sold. And Amazon has started requesting such new terms since late 2011 with IPG being the first to refuse to accept them. No one yet has revealed what the terms are but hopefully someone will. We can speculate 35, 40, 45%?
