> Apple didn't help deliver my ebook or podcast

How true. Well, except for:

- designing and manufacturing the hardware

- marketing and selling the hardware

- creating and promoting the Books app

- popularizing podcasts with the iPod

- creating and promoting the Podcasts app

etc.

> They don't deserve 30% of that.

This illustrates my point: the core dispute is over platform fees charged by the App Store.
