AppStore for Content: Amazon Digital Text Platform

It's interesting to see the parallels between Amazon's and Google's strategies: they both started as focused web services companies (ecommerce and searching respectively) and both branched into devices to help their services grow. The Kindle is for Amazon is what Android is for Google. I can't wait to see these strategies unfold more.

This is fantastic, except Canadian authors/publishers are left out once again. I'm amazed by how many times Canadian customers' money is left on the table.

The revenue sharing is quite surprising to me: "As publisher, you will receive 35% of the list price when someone buys your content from the Kindle Store."<p><a href="http://forums.digitaltextplatform.com/dtpforums/entry.jspa?externalID=18&#38;categoryID=7" rel="nofollow">http://forums.digitaltextplatform.com/dtpforums/entry.jspa?e...</a><p>Probably they need to cover wireless download expenses?
