Although we choose the 70% option Amazon only give us 35% in some countries. I can't see any logic or justification for this. I didn't even notice that they could do it until we started getting the 35% payments because it isn't immediately obvious. Once we got 35% payments I checked we had ticked the 70% option then searched for their small print.
They can also pay less if they find a more competitive price elsewhere, which could explain why the ebook price is the same on other platforms. We are still working on this as we had to get the books on to Kindle first because they still dominate the market and it's only fair on our authors.
But in the long term we can't enroll on some of Amazon's ebook schemes because we do need to sell on other websites, and this will be one of the only ways we can offer more competitive prices.
