Self publishing isn't irrelevant to your point. I seriously doubt those terms you quoted from Amazon are the same terms the big six negotiated with them.
As wild speculation, I imagine the terms Amazon and Apple have with the big six are identical and that's where the charge of price collusion comes from: there's only six publishers than really count and no one can sell their eBooks at a lower rate now.
- nirvana 15y agoLet me put your "doubt" to rest: https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/help?topicId=A2MLJ06E7JKXLN https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/help?topicId=A2MLJ06E... The "%30 royalty" is Amazon's old model, the "%70 Royalty" is the Apple "Agency model". When Apple announced the model, Amazon moved to offer the same model, and they offered it to everybody. That we're self publishing is relevant only in the fact that we've actually published a book on Amazon and are relating the current situation, rather than making an argument based on "doubts". The purpose of this press release, by the way, is to sow such fear, uncertainty and doubt, and as you'll notice it has many assertions and little in the way of facts.
