In quite some countries, book pricing is fixed by the publisher and cannot vary between websites according to the law. If AAPL takes a 30% margin, the whole model cannot work and you are much better off not selling anything.
- threeseed 6y agoI fail to see what the relationship between the publisher and the seller has to do with Apple. Because in case you're not aware Amazon isn't some mom and pop store. It has enough clout to negotiate terms with publishers.

In France, the price of a book is fixed: it sells the same price whether you’re Amazon or a small bookstore (you’re allowed to offer a 5% reduction max).
- amenod 6y agoTrue, but the amount the publisher gets is negotiable. Not saying that 30% is acceptable, of course - I have no idea what the margins on books are.
