Where I work, we still do all those things, but it's academia. POD is pretty high unit cost. Good luck with that.

- ghaff 5y agoThe printing cost for a 200 or so page 6"x9" softcover in Kindle Direct Publishing with color cover and B&W interior is about $4. So if you sell it for $10, you collect about 50%. However, in my case, I give away an eBook. The book is mostly on Amazon so physical books can be ordered for a book signing at an event. I have it priced just a bit above cost. One key with editing is that you need someone willing to put in the time to do a careful job. In my experience, asking a co-worker tends not to work well. About the only time I get carefully edited (mostly copyediting) is when I'm actually working with an editor.
