i have written a specialized ebook on handmade rugs, 1956 pages long, full of pictures. (450 megs)
1) i want to sell it for $34.95. amazon will give me $12.25 which is nothing frankly. i'd have to sell three books to make $34
2) ----more importantly ----pdf affords me the navigation property (previous & next view) which will really add to the experience, allowing readers to swap back and forth between pages. Amazon only allows me to have hyperlinks which work fine but not the same exacting experience. (let me know if you think my logic/assumption is flawed)

3) i was assuming (may be naively) that pdf "support" would not be as complicated since everyone has it or can get it for free on their devices.

i really appreciate your openness by shooting holes in my logic above. after four years of work, this last baton before the finish line is really stressing me out. Thank you again for your generosity with your time.
