Book Pricing:

Publisher set any price for the version of your e-Book. When we publish to the iBookstore, Kindle we'll automatically round your price to the nearest valid e-book store pricing tier.

Apple's pricing guidelines vary by country. On the U.S. iBookstore,Kindle the price must end in $.99, and cannot exceed $99.99.

All eBooks submitted for iBookstore,Kindle store distribution must comply with these pricing guidelines.

How Much Publisher Make:

At Apple store:
Apple retains 30% of all revenue from sales on the iBookstore. The publisher receives 80% of the remaining revenue and Pinnacle receives 20%. So, when an eBook sells for $19.99 on the iBookstore, the publisher receives 56%, or $11.20.

At Kindle store
The 70% Royalty Option is only applicable to sales to customers of the 70% Territories listed below. We may add 70% Territories from time-to-time by updating this Pricing page. If you choose this option, the Royalty on sales to customers of other territories will be as provided under the 35% Royalty Option.

The 35% Royalty Option for your Digital Book, you must set and adjust from time-to-time as necessary the Digital Book's List Price so that the List Price, plus 15% (the statutory Luxembourg VAT rate) for sales to UK customers, is no higher than any of the following:
