That's because people don't want to buy eBooks from Apple. They are the ones that had a major hand in bringing out higher Agency pricing. So it's only fair that Apple tanks when it comes to eBooks. 20% is wrong. It's not that high a percent. Also, on an iPhone, iBooks is garbage. They huge margins makes the reading experience lousy. That and for those of us who do strip DRM, it's easier to strip DRM from ePub (not Apple) and Kindle eBooks.
