According to a survey a few months back, they control 90% of the ebook subscription service market, small though it may be (relatively speaking). That last is critical because KU is already delivering more rental income to Indies than they make in sales at Nook et al.

That is not healthy.
If those folks don't get their Indie sales act in gear things will get dangerous by next year.
