Well, to be honest I think the authors should take the lion's share of book sales.
If you do a quick calculation:
Suppose that Amazon takes 30% commission (as when an individual puts his book on the Kindle store).
The publisher takes 30%, there will be only 40% for authors, who still provides the raw material of the book ...
If Hachette fights as they claim to increase the authors share, I think it's a good thing. But if it is to make even more profit, that's not cool for authors ...
