I want to buy my first ebooks and I have two goals: don't pay Amazon, and give the largest possible cut to the authors. Is there something like Bandcamp for ebooks?

The biggest difference in book quality, IMHO, is a good editor. I honestly think I'd feel it would be fair if the editor and the author split the profit pretty evenly; maybe 60/40. I'm not an author, but I've read plenty of books which clearly did not have one (or had a terrible one), and they're painful. Editors are the unsung heroes of the publishing industry.
