And if Amazon isn't happy with that (and admittedly they won't be probably),
then:
(a) they will renegotiate with authors to provide them with less money,
or
(b) they will attempt to negotiate some sort of special-consideration
with Apple based on the fact that they're only acting as a content-broker, and
have rights-holders themselves to dole money out to as well, or
(c) they will abandon the iOS platform as it will be netting them $0.00
and costing them to maintain it
That's their right to do so. I'm still not seeing anything hullaballoo worthy
here.
