Whispernet fees? What of those who download it via USB? Are they going to charge you for their broadband service too? All of these fees, combined, 1 dollars per download should cover everything. Maybe they should change it to 25% Amazon, 75% Writer. More expensive books (10-20 bucks or more) would help offset the f'ees' from the 99cent-to-5-dollar books

These were my approximate guesses, but again, you have legitimate reasons for such low figures. In the Kindle case, (almost) ALL of the factors are gone, or have been absorbed by the writer/uploader PRIOR to Amazon.
