Wow. That was uncalled for.
@everyone, rather than railing against Amazon let's put this in perspective. Amazon buys pbooks at that discount (or something close), as does Wal-mart, Borders, B&N, as well as any large distributor. It's the normal discount that publishers give to distributors. (The major chain stores get it becuase they do they own distributing.)
It was carried over from pbooks to ebooks. I know that Mobipocket and Fictionwise pay at about the same discount, and I would bet that the other distributors like Overdrive and Ingrm Digital do as well. It's _normal_.
