@Cinisajoy: please stop acting like you are the only person that knows how to read the fine print. You are very much insulting the authors that choose a low price on purpose. Economically it makes little sense from a business standpoint if your goal is to maximise profit. I have never encountered any self publisher out there that wasn't aware of the different % in royalties based on price. And yet the terms Amazon gives and the options are still much better than any traditionally publisher.
If you are asking advice on your cookbook you are planning to self publish, whether you should go $0.99 or $4.99, then here is my advice to you free of charge: put it in KU and set the price at either $3.99 or $4.99. Screw all the other vendors since you would be exclusive to Amazon. Keep a close eye on your sales and borrow data, and decide if you want to try to get out of KU to spread out to other ebook stores after each 90 days or so you are locked into KU.
