ya, but with Amazon, they already have a set pricing structure that
everyone is used to, that did not include a 30% take by a side
distribution channel.
And by "side" I mean, the content is not distributed by Apple. Just
the app. So, all future purchases via the app take the 30% hit, with
apple no longer having anything to do with it.
Distribution is handled by Amazon itself along with the cell carrier.
With the apps (android/i*/whatever) the carrier is paid by the consumer.
With the hardware Kindle, it is paid by Amazon.
