Re: Apple is seeking to partner with indie writers and publishers to help them
With the extra 15% if you release on other platforms it seems unlikely very many will be interested in adding Apple as a second publisher.
If you compare a 60% cut to Audible vs a 75% cut to Audible and 30% cut to Apple, they need to have 1/3 of their sales on Apple to break even. Any less then it doesn't make sense to accept the higher cut to Audible for a "non-exclusive". You'd need pretty significant non-Audible sales even if you had the option of a publisher will to PAY you to publish on their platform!
