Fair point, but don't you think It'd be nice if they advertised the price for said fee, or at least provided a chart for fees/mb? It seems like it is a "hidden cost", not outlined in detail, leaving the client in the dark, which appears to be the problem here.

While I think his claims of high delivery charges are fair, I don't think it's right to call it hidden. When pricing your book in Amazon's self publishing (I am assuming here he went through KDP), it calculates in real time the delivery charge and estimated royalty based on the price you input. There is also a blurb on the right side of the same page explaining the delivery charge, and how it applies to the 70% royalty plan (and now there is no delivery charge for 35% royalty).

The terms are plainly outlined in this table right here, which I found after 10 seconds of Googling: https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/help?topicId=A29FL26OKE7R7B https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/help?topicId=A29FL26O...

  It helps to know what you're googling to find. Amazon's documentation is a mess (IMO) with half of it in PDF or other inaccessible format (.mobi) so that it's easy to get confused and lost in the process, especially for a first time author doing this on the side.

    "kindle direct publishing calculator" and it was the first hit for me.
