See one of you thinks they should get 50%, but only get like 10.
One says baen gives authors 50%, yet another has an article that says the get a handsome 20%. BTW 20% sucks and is ot handsome at all.
I like this quote from the first article:
Quote:

Baen Books instituted the policy of buying all electronic rights in contracts with its new authors. Unlike its major competitors, the house pays its authors a handsome 20% in royalties for its eARCS

What is should say, is all publishers will not publish an authors books any longer unless they sell them the e-book rights too.
Also you see how most places give less then 20%.
So if you are an authot who owns the e-books rights to you older works and your publisher wants to put them out and says you can only have 10-20%. Would you do it?
Liek in the one example is it worth it for the extra 84 bucks the author made?
