That seems to be much more realistic. Do you know if the author
royalties are the same dollar amount for each format, or is it set to a
percentage? How does that price for the paperback compare for the number
of pages, etc. to other similar books??
I'm highly tempted to try to put together an Extropian Press publishing
house. If $3.95 is the lowest price on the market now for an electronic
novel, there is loads of money to be made. I'm far less tempted to sell
paper books, except as a drop ship order to Amazon, et al. unless EP is
actually going to publish books on paper, which is something I've been
wanting to do for a while.
Hey Damien, what nut are you making off ebooks published at that other
place?
