Doing a paperback version for Growing as a Mobile Engineer would have been additional work I wasn't ready to take on.
And the paperback distribution is done through print-on-demand, so I can't bundle a digital book with it.
I say go for whatever is more useful to you: two ebooks, or a print book.
For transparency, the $20 bundle bought online nets me $19 (Gumroad fees are 3.5% + 30¢), while the $22.50 print book will be around $9.50 (Amazon shares 60% of the revenue, plus I pay for the printing of about $4/book). The $22.50 Kindle book on Amazon nets $7.70 (Amazon pays a 35% royalty on Kindle books above $10).
- wingerlang 5y agoFWIW I probably would have paid and additional $10-20 for the physical book, maybe more, I've paid $40 for ebooks before. Especially if you have the pricing breakdown noted like this. There was a recent post about showing it, might be something to try.
