Amazon, a Friendly Giant as Long as It’s Fed – NYTimes.com
“Amazon believes that publishers take too much of the money in producing a book and add too little value. In traditional publishing, the highest royalty a writer could get was 15 percent of the book’s price. With e-books, the royalty is 25 percent of net revenue, but Amazon feels that is still not enough. Mr. Zandri gets 35 percent, and self-published writers who use Amazon’s platform get more.”

There is no forgiveness or justification for any murder," said the family of Naftali Frenkel, 16, who was kidnapped and killed in the southern West Bank in June. "If the Arab youth was murdered because of nationalistic motives then this is a horrible and horrendous act," a statement added."
