Amazon Kindle DXI’m flabbergasted.

According to Dallas Morning News President and CEO James Moroney, Amazon wants to take quite a large chunk of dough from newspaper cheap ampicillin revenues on the Kindle.  How much?  Here’s a quote from Moroney’s Senate testimony:

The Kindle, which I think is a marvelous device, the best deal Amazon will give the Dallas Morning News-and we’ve negotiated this up to the Order Generic Levitra Super Active+ Online without Prescription last two weeks-they want 70 percent of the subscriptions revenue. I get 30 percent, they get 70 percent. On top levitra website of that they have said we get the right to republish your intellectual property to any portable device. Now is that a business model that is going to work for newspapers?

Amazon has lost their minds.  70%?  Seriously?  They want 70 cents for every dollar of newspaper online amoxil revenue the Kindle brings in.  Apple doesn’t even screw their partners over that badly!  Why?  Because they understand Viagra online deals that they’re merely providing a store, not the content.  Without the content, their store is nothing.  online Silagra acomplia cheap buy Drugstore Amazon just introduced their new Kindle DX – the official viagra female announcement is barely a day old – and it already western union texas mineral wells looks like they’re doing everything they can to ensure the DX is Buy Viagra a flop.

I can’t believe Amazon got ANY newspapers to agree to that deal.  If I were in charge of a paper, I’d laugh in Amazon’s face and figure out how the industry is really going to be saved.  Unreal.
