Authors may indeed opt out if they do not want their works sold through BN. I'm pretty sure the royalty cut will be much smaller than the same work bought straight from Smashwords. On the other hand, it is hoped that there will be more sales. And really, that is the point. I don't know of any self-published author who is getting rich off of book sales. The idea is to get a little name recognition out there and hopefully find some people who like your writing.
