This poor revenue is unfortunate. I sell my own self-published book on Amazon. I manage to make around 2.50$ on a 10$ book, but I willingly chose to forego colour and chose a very small print size. Self-publishing is ill-equipped to deal with what amounts to a colour phone book. It seems its best bang for the buck is a text-only paperback, at around 200 pages. I do understand why Fabian chose Amazon however. I get to sit in my pajamas on my couch, safe in the knowledge that my self-published book is available worldwide for around 10 US dollars with ridiculously cheap shipping. In my case, it meant I found an audience I didn't know would be interested in my book: Germans.
