Except that Amazon's royalty is 35% of "Suggested Retail Price", which has to be consistent with that at other retailers and wholesalers. I don't think this precludes a lower price on the authors own web site but it might at Baen. I really have no idea if a SF author would get more sales (or more royalties overall) from Webscriptions than from the Kindle Store. A much larger fraction of the webscriptions audience would see and buy the ebooks, but there are a ton of Kindles out there.
