It would take some effort on the part of shops and the publishers to make revenue sharing work, but it just amazes me that they aren't doing more to implement such things because at the end of the day the worst thing the publishing companies can do is stop people from buying books from them. Drm and pricing are obviously major annoyances that have the potential to harm sales, but nothing harms sales more than refusing to sell.
