Kindle Publishers To Get 70% of ebook Sale Price

Posted on January 27th, 2010 by Ross in Kindle

Amazon announced last week that Kindle authors and publishers can lock in 70% of the sale price of a ebooks published through the Amazon Digital Text Publishing system.

The announcement is for US based authors and publishers only and begins on June 30 2010.
The fine print is
  • The 70% does not include e-delivery costs of around 6c per book
  • Books must be listed between $2.99 and $9.99
  • eBook price must be 20% below that of a physical book sale price
  • The eBook must be available in all territories the author or publisher has rights for
  • Only available for in-copyright works – so no old titles < 1923

There was no word from Amazon on when or if this would be rolled out worldwide or at least to the countries that Kindles can now be purchased, hopefully Australia will follow shortly.
