This is nice. Smashwords is really starting to look like one-stop-shopping for the self-publisher. I think I remember reading that the author gets 60% of the sale price from the Apple book store (so they take 10%, which seems very reasonable). Does anyone know if Smashwords made a new deal with Amazon based on their 30%/70% offer to authors? I haven't seen anything, but I haven't been looking, either.
