1 @ This argument is absurd. Kindle doesn't use Apple's bandwidth or marketing to sell books, only for the initial app download.
2 @ That said, you do imply that content publishers probably shouldn't rely on such a capricious platform. Does a publication need an app, anyway? Just use the web. 3 @ And in the case of multi-platform services like Netflix, why should Apple get 30% every month just because that's where you happened to sign up? Moandji 1, Well if millions download the App then yes its Apple bandwidth, I'm sure a lot of people have download Amazon App, I have :) 2, Yes this is just business, they are free to use the web go ahead. if you are bake bean producer then you have to cut a deal with Wall Mart for shelf space AND PAID for best placement. If you want to be in Apple Store then you have to paid.... 3, I do think that 30% does not work for them (small margins), but Apple could and should maybe do a deal with them based on volume. PLUS Apple does NOT a monopoly, thanks to Google Android and soon to be Amazon Android App Store.
