Exactly. That is why it is not even a business decision to sell ebooks on iThings or not. Unless you are in the charity business. It is very ironic as well that Apple has the tendency to somehow steer every discussion back to their collusion to fix prices. Use any semantics you want, at the end of the day it makes perfect sense why Apple was pushing so hard for agency pricing with a 70/30 split. What a coincidence that it is the exact same split as anything else app store. Nothing surprises me any more when it comes to anything Apple.
