I was just wondering what percentage of the sale price you get on a Kindle book. If you self-publish and if the book sells for £1.99 or more, then you get 70% (though VAT is now involved so this is a rough figure.)
I know that the agent and the publisher take their share, but given that there is virtually no cost involved apart from the cost to Amazon, I wondered what the author ended up with. I can understand publishers promote your work etc, but if you have written 10 novels, presumably they are not still promoting your first. Do you then get a higher percentage of that book or just the same?
Just pondering this morning!
