Just as I saw this I got this email:

So, if you selling Magazines then it's pretty awesome, everyone else loses out.
- jc4p 14y agoSo, if you selling Magazines then it's pretty awesome, everyone else loses out. Huh? I got the same e-mail too, all I got from it is that they're increasing incentives for new things they're focusing on (magazines, MyHabit, AmazonSupply) to get people to use the services. Where are you getting the "everyone else loses out" from?
- richbradshaw 14y agoThe rates on the others are dropping. MYHABIT and Industrial Products go from 15% to 8%, which is quite a drop.
- excuse-me 14y agoBut if the volume of industrial products they sell goes up. then having just discovered that you get a cut of everything the customer buys - not just the book you linked to. This could be good, especially when Amazon start selling 747s
