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. |
And don't forget that Amazon gives the publisher only about 30% or so on each book sold but keeps the rest. So if Apple wants to stiff Amazon for 30% that still leaves the a$$holes with 40%, which is more than the publisher/author gets. That is really darn good money for Amazon considering they don't do a darn thing to earn it other than allow the author to list their books. (Well at least in my case, I think I get about 30$ from the sales.)
