Do you really think that Amazon does not take a cut of every ebook sale? That they are in the ebook business out of the goodness of their corporate heart?
Perhaps you should check out
The 2024 Guide to Amazon Fees and Royalties for Kindle eBooks and KDP Print?
Please note the per MB delivery fee if your ebook is selling for >$2.99 and <9.99 US and you have selected the 70% royalty plan A 4MB ebook costs $0.60 for delivery. If you select the 35% royalty plan which is forced for books below $2.99 or above $9.99 US, there is no delivery fee but the amount paid to the author is half of what the 70% royalty plan would pay. Depending on the size of the book, the author would select the plan that gives them the most money.
So when you buy that $0.99 book, Amazon takes $0.6435 and the author receives $0.3465 while a book priced at $2.99 with a size of 2MB on the 70% plan would have Amazon receive $0.897 plus $0.30 delivery fee so the author would receive $1.793 per sale.
