As I mentioned previously, the iBookstore team curates, tests, promotes and distributes submissions offered for sale. They also run the accounting, handle customer payments, and delivers income to authors. That is the basis of the fees charged per item sold. What other work do you expect the iBookstore team to do for their $0.30 on the dollar? Oh yes: Unlike a publisher, they don't vet whether your book is salable, supply advances, or charge you for leftover/excess/returned inventory. Nor do they expect you to store the excess inventory of your product, or take a year to deliver any payments on sales, or expect you to take returns and do reimbursements up to three years later. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
