Apr. 26th, 2010 12:36 pmThis is mostly out of curiosity, but I do have a reason for asking....
Is there a difference in the amount of money that an author gets from a sale of a Kindle ebook vs. a paperback, and if so, which pays more? (I know that authors make more money on hardcovers, but the book in question is not available in hardcover.) Or is it a case-by-case thing?
(I'm asking specifically about the Kindle because that's the ereader I have. I know that there can be a somewhat sizeable difference between ebooks bought for the Kindle via Amazon and ebooks bought from other vendors, but for the sake of this question I'm just interested in the Amazon Kindle store.)
(Also, I'm going to be buying the book from Amazon either way, so no need to explain to me why I ought to support local brick-and-mortars. :) )
