A few years ago I met an author who was switching from self-pub to traditional pub for one of his books (usually this is tough to do, traditional publishers typically won't touch a book that started off as self-published). His take went from 70% on Amazon to just 7% w/ the traditional publisher. Of course the traditional publisher handles all marketing and distribution, so hopefully the slimmer percentage of a much bigger pie works out. But I was amazed at how low the final percentage was.
