I was wondering when this was coming down. Apple announced that if a company wants to sell things through their app they'd have to give up the 30% months ago. I was wondering how the book apps were managing to get away with it.

It does suck to make things a little bit more complicated, but as long as I can still buy from the site and send to the iPad I don't really care. This is the game you play when you get in bed with Apple. Some people find it inexcusable while some adjust.

That won't happen. Apple is essentially building a Scrooge McDuck pool filled with cash-on-hand by doing what they're doing. I see no reason why they would ever change from this model. The people that don't agree with how they handle things like this can go to Android. The people who don't care are very numerous and also Apple's bread and butter.
