The delivery fee is (in the US) charged per MB at

Amazon.com: $0.15/MB
Amazon.co.uk: £0.10/MB
Amazon.de: €0.12/MB
Amazon.fr: €0.12/MB
Amazon.es: €0.12/MBAmazon.it: €0.12/MB

The book was at 18MB. The author has cut that down to

2612 KB

So the new delivery fee is 2.6 MB x $0.15 = $0.39

I guess he's a newbie at self-publishing and didn't read the TOS carefully. Now that he knows better, he wisely cutting down from 18MB to 2.6MB.

At least he got a lot of publicity out of it

UPDATE #2 Welcome Boing Boing. I switched over selling .mobi first through gumroad with a link to Amazon. You can buy This Book Is About Travel .mobi (Kindle Version) here.
UPDATE #3 Welcome Radar readers.

UPDATE #4 Welcome Domino Project readers.

UPDATE #5 My kindle .mobi is now compressed and resubmitted, I will now (only) see a $36% cut from Amazon for selling the book. You can buy it on Amazon here.
