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."

Probably they need to cover wireless download expenses?

The list price, not the sale price. They can discount it 30% and still get half.

Why would you want to do this? Valve, recently, discounted a game by 50% and got a 30x increase in sales.

If that's true, why would any publisher not discount their work by 30%? Does Amazon control the discounts?

Only 35% rev share for the publisher seems extremely low to me.
