Phil, Do you mean the 30% or the £118? All books need a ISBN number and the cost is nothing to do with Apple. I think the 30% is reasonable, it is the same for the Apps.
Apple are advertising and promoting your product and many App designers have created a profitable business . Apple got blamed last week for putting up the cost of Whitney Houston recordings on iTunes, but it was Sony who increased the price. Regards, Mike.
