#Kindle direct publishing download#
You also have to pay a download cost per book, which depends on the size of the file. Really small books, however, or large ones like textbooks, might suffer from being priced in this bracket. Most authors probably won't have a problem with this.
But it's important to realize that there's a big restriction placed on books in this royalty level: they have to be priced between $2.99 and $9.99. Most people will choose 70 percent because. You can choose to earn either 35 or 70 percent royalties on your book. Now comes an important choice: your royalty level. But you should read about distribution rights anyway. Unless you're licensing your content, you probably have worldwide results. You'll first need to let KDP know if you hold worldwide or territorial distribution rights. Once you've decided on whether or not you'll enroll your book in KDP Select, you can move onto the rest of the pricing options. Especially because you can un-enroll and re-enroll your books in KDP Select whenever you want. There's no guarantee that you'll earn more - you can, after all, choose 70 percent royalties for a solid list of countries already - but if you aren't planning on selling the digital version elsewhere anyway, you have nothing to lose. In short, you're trading exclusivity for the potential of increased earnings. You can, however, sell a print version elsewhere. You'll need to agree to exclusivity in the Kindle store, which means you can't sell your book on any other ebook store or your own website. But there are a few requirements that you'll need to meet to be eligible for KDP Select.
