I don't get his complaint. I have written books for Springer-Verlag, McGraw-Hill, J. Reilly, Apress, etc., etc., and I am used to seeing 10% to 15% royalty.

About 50% royalty from Amazon seems pretty good, but regular publishers provide a lot of help producing a book.

Publishing books with Apple's AppStore also looks pretty good.

It is all good(!), one just has to appreciate having multiple markets available and choose which ones you like.
