How does publishing via Amazon work? Basically you submit the book, you set the price for it, Amazon charges the customer and then gives you 35 percent of the revenue. So Amazon keeps 65 percent? -- That sounds like a lot! -- Does it? If you’re an author, what does your traditional publishing royalty check look like? Are your royalties 35 percent?...
Amazing Amazon stat: for every 100 copies of a book Amazon sells, where it has a Kindle edition, that sells 48 copies (meaning electronic books, if available, are about 50% market share demand -- already) h/t John Hagel & NYTimes.
