[question]

If we have both issues and reports/books, would it make sense to offer the reports/books on Kindle and the issues on a platform with a higher remit rate?

[/question]
[answer]

Yes. We’d be strong advocate of boycotting Kindle until they change the remit rates, or unless you start distributing issues on your own through a third party. As an industry, we want to discourage their remit rates and move business to where the remit rate is fair, like on Nook.
