Hya PDurrant: Ebook sales commissions are approaching and often wildly exceeding the penal commissions charged by brick & mortar stores on hardback and paperback sales (Sony, for instance, charges a ridiculous 70% across the board on ebook sales, even from established publishing houses).
Under present conditions, 35% isn't quite as crazy as it once was (though we've negotiated 25% with some of the smaller retailers). 70% is mad, for all but self-publishing authors who would otherwise have zero distribution and whose main sales potential is author-circle within the privileged countries where 35% applies.
Very best. Neil
