The one question that is always avoided in these discussions, probably because it is speculative and because indie authors mostly want to believe it will not matter, is this: What will Amazon do once it has a monopoly of the ebook market?
It seems to me that the recent dispute between Amazon and IPG gives a clue as to what can be expected: Amazon will want a larger share of the pie and will be able to get it because there will be no competing outlets.

Hey, this would require long term thinking and in the long run wer are all dead, dontcha' know?
Prior to Apple's entry into the market, the author/royalty split was some where near 25 percent.
After Apple announced its 70/30 split as part of its deal with publishers, Amazon was suddenly " excited" to announce its own 70/30 split
