That’s not much better than the 25% that’s the ebook standard for traditional publishers and those publishers edit, proof, layout and market an ebook. Who else has an entire organization dedicated to criticizing them?Īnd for what? Amazon pays the worst royalties in the ebook industry, just 35% on ebooks retailing outside the $2.99 to $9.99 range that they have fixed at the ‘proper’ price for ebooks. Amazon does seem intent on become replacing Comcast as the most hated company in America-at least among writers. If we want to create the KF8 equivalent of fixed-layout, they expect us to pay some large sum to a third-pary company. They won’t spend money, so all of us get stuck with spending more time that we ought creating Kindle books. Reminds me of baby chickens: “cheep, cheep, cheep.”Įven worse, they haven’t updated their InDesign plug-in or helped Adobe create one for us. It’s by far the ugliest thing on my Mac.Īmazon is the biggest retailer and the largest seller of ebooks on the planet and yet all they give for previewing is a dreadful Java app. Rotten, now I won’t have an excuse not to look at that vile Java app.
