Delivery fees only apply to books where the "royalty" rate is 70%, and vary according to the size of the book, as determined by Amazon.
See https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G200634500 for full details.
A 2MB book sold for $3.00 in USA at 70% royalty rate would earn the publisher ($3.00 - $0.30)*0.7 = $1.89 |
What Paul said is correct and the delivery method, how many times you download it, etc. is irrelevant.
The rate is exactly as he shows and the fee is charged when the book is bought. It doesn't matter if a book is bought a thousand times and is downloaded via USB from a desktop to the device manually--the publisher pays the fee
once. Amazon pays itself off the top and then, as Paul showed, the remainder is split 70/30, publisher/Amazon.
