What, did you think I was saying 65%-30% split between vendors and authors? 
Sentence context.  |
Someone way up thread said that Amazon didn't like 99 cent books. It took me two days but I finally figured out how to show Amazon makes a bigger profit off that split.
I might have been off on my "selling twice as many 99 cent books", if the voracious readers I know are any indication, they probably sell 4 to 5 times as many.
So that was just an example.
Now as to the book buyers,
My mother buys one or two books a year by very certain authors. She also buys a few textbooks since she is going to college. She is a senior senior.
Me on the other hand buy 1 to 2 books a week, not counting freebies. I buy on sale.
