Royalties - We're still fine-tuning details, but I expect authors and publishers will continue to receive 85% of the proceeds to Smashwords and Smashwords will receive 15%. Since retailers typically take a big chunk of sales, often 50% of the list price (and we have little control over this), your net may equal approximately 42% of your list price.

I wonder if authors are allowed to opt-out of the BN listings, in order to keep their original pricing? Will *all* of Smashwords be available through BN (I really can't imagine that) or only authors who decide to request it? Or some other system?
