That's very different from what the press release said this morning on App Store [http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/02/15appstore.html http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/02/15appstore.html]:
“Our philosophy is simple—when Apple brings a new subscriber to the app, Apple earns a 30 percent share; when the publisher brings an existing or new subscriber to the app, the publisher keeps 100 percent and Apple earns nothing,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO.
In other words, for Kindle, if a new subscriber registered through channels other than the Kindle iOS App, then Apple does not take a cut.
- panarky 16y agoIt's not where the customer registers, it's where the sale occurs. A publisher must make all content that's available elsewhere also available in the app, and at the same price. If the customer buys in the app, the transaction settles to the iTunes account and Apple takes 30% off the top.
