-11 How are royalties calculated?

If you select the 35 percent royalty option, your royalty will be 35 percent of your list price for each unit sold.

If you select the 70 percent royalty option, your royalty will be 70 percent of the list price (but if we sell at a lower price to match a competitor’s price for a digital or physical edition of the book or our price for a physical edition of the book, you will receive 70 percent of our sale price) for each book sold to customers in the Available Sales Territories, net delivery costs, and 35 percent of the list price for each unit sold to other customers. For full details, terms and conditions, see the Pricing Page and Terms and Conditions.

1-12 Why are royalties displayed at a 35 percent rate in the sales report, when I had selected 70% royalty option for my book?

The 70 percent royalty program is only applicable for sales of your book to customers in the Available Sales Territories. For sales to other customers, royalties are calculated at 35 percent, and these transactions appear at a 35 percent rate in the sales report. For full details, terms and conditions, see the Pricing Page and Terms and Conditions.

1-13 How are royalties for the 70 percent option shown in the sales report?

If we sell you title at a price lower than the list price entered to match a competitor’s price for a digital or physical edition of the book or our price for a physical edition of the book, you will receive 70 percent of our sale price, net of delivery costs, and the sales report will show you the weighted average of our sales prices and the total royalty on those sales.
