[question]

Address the revenue model from Amazon, it pays the publisher a little amount, will this change?

[/question]
[answer]

Amazon is already paying 60-70 percent to book publishers. It’s the magazine and newspaper publishers they are hosing with 30-34 percent remit rates. Since B&N and other distributors are offering a higher remit rate (around 60%), we can hope that Amazon will adapt.
