With 70% royalties (minus about $0.10 in delivery fee), the author is making bank, especially since the book is selling pretty well.

($8.99 - $0.10 delivery fee) x 70% = $6.22 for Terry Goodkind for each book sold.


At this rate, it will sell more than 10,000 copies pretty soon (with B&N, Kobo, Itunes etc...added). 10,000 x $6.22 = $62,200 in royalties for the author.

Guesstimate:

July 3rd: #28 ----maybe around 1,500 ebooks sold
July 4th: #54 ----maybe around 800
July 5th: ? ------maybe around 600
July 6th: #101 -----maybe around 450
July 7th: #103 -----maybe around 450

That's 3800 for the first 5 days from Amazon. Add in other stores (1,900) with the assumption that Amazon = 2/3 and other stores = 1/3.

5,700 in 5 days.

5,700 x $6.22 royalties = $35,454.
