I'm not well versed on the subject but I recently learned that Amazon's share of a book's purchase price is HUGE at around 40% (21.60 on a $54 book)

I suppose the lesson is that there is a lot of value in being a distributor as I also know someone who is a part owner of a brewery and he says the same thing.

That is the case at pretty much any retailer. Grocery stores, drug stores, clothing stores, etc.


Don't forget app stores, music distributors, etc!
