I get that Amazon wants to keep all the profits themselves, but Apple's business model of you charge what you want, but if you charge, you pay us 30% is hardly nonsense. Most iPad developers are more than happy with it. Amazon just wants to have their cake and eat it too.
Except Apple didn't provide any infrastructure to the major ebookstores, and frankly it wasn't possible for Apple to do so. At best Apple's systems supported the sale of a few thousand items in-app, not tens or hundreds of thousands or the millions needed for an ebookstore.
