Personally, I'd be more depressed by something that says "Amazon charges authors $2.58 to deliver an e-book (after 30% cut)" than some big fancy number like that 129,000%. It's more meaningful.
- MBCook 14y agoI agree. "Amazon's takes 55% of my ebook sales" or "Amazon's hidden 25% ebook fee" would have meant quite a bit more.
- smackfu 14y agoActually, it seems like the delivery fee reduces the effective retail price of the book, like: royalty = 70% x ($10 - delivery fee) He just has a really big delivery fee.
