Amazon Source

Amazon Source is a new program from Amazon for independent bookstores. Here's the description:

"We designed this program with bookstores in mind. The Bookseller Program offers a discount on the price of Kindle tablets and e-readers, plus the opportunity to make a commission on every book your customers purchase from their device, anywhere, anytime. With the Bookseller Program, you get a 10% commission every time one of your customers buys an e-book from a Kindle tablet or e-reader that they purchase at your store. This program allows you to give your customers a choice between digital and physical books, offer them access to a wide selection of e-books, and profit from every e-book they buy on their new device, from your store or on the go."

Sounds kind of interesting, particularly if you can make your bookstore a place for recommendations or book clubs, etc. The site says "terms and conditions" apply but I couldn't find them. Engadget says "A bookseller will only get a cut on digital e-book sales made within two years of the device being purchased" which does sound like a Trojan Horse.
