Yesterday, Amazon.com launched Amazon Source, a program that will pay retail outlets for selling Kindle e-reading devices and accessories. Retailers can buy the products at a 6% discount and earn a 10% commission on ebook sales recorded for a given device for the next two years. Amazon also offered booksellers a plan under which they can receive a 9% discount and forego any commission revenue.
