If you drop your price from $2.99 or higher for a promotion, they let you keep the higher percentage during that time. If your book is normally priced less than $2.99, then Amazon keeps 65%.

Source: Me, selling $0.99 ebooks and making a whopping $0.35 per book. But it's a great way to get your work out there & be seen.

With KU, there's a "pages read" fund for authors, so we get paid based on that number. I know last year it was around $.005 per page, so a 300 page book would pay out about $1.50 or so.

It doesn't really help much for my stuff (oddball short story collections), but for longer works it can pay off somewhat. I think for indie authors it makes sense to build your brand, get your work read, and garner reviews. I feel the reviews are crucial for indie authors. People are far more likely to try an author who has at least a handful of reviews than take a chance on a book with none.

Hey Delante! Your friendly neighborhood on-set medic here, just saying hi because, well, it's a trip seeing you on Reddit, so why not?

Hope you're enjoying the amazing feedback you and the whole cast have been getting. Well-deserved, my friend. Can't wait to see what they've got up their sleeves for season two.

Oh, and Fuck Boston! ;)

While you're at it, ask if he knew Fred Cooper, grandfather of a dear friend and like Jack a legendary, can-do kind of guy. Seems they grew them impressive in that era.

Fred was Navy, but after the war while doing engineering for Disneyland he built a few small planes and even flew Walt Disney a few times. Their paths may very well have crossed.
