Exactly! And who has clarified, up to this post, that Amazon's percentage is based on the MSRP of an eBook. They are a large enough distributor to negotiate with the publisheers for a better deal. Or am I missing something here; do publishers have to sell their eBooks to all distributors at the same price and with the same percentage split?
WDE. (I'm on the fence here on placing the blame for the exhorbitant price of eBooks)
