Under the current 65/35 split the publisher is paid 35% of the list price of the book. So the publisher is paid $9.80 for a book (assuming a $28 list price). When Amazon sells the ebook for $9.99 that leaves them with only $0.19 as their cut ($9.99-$9.80).
In reality, the big publishers are actually getting around 45% of the list price, and Amazon has been taking a loss on their $9.99 best sellers.
