Even so, the profit margins to Amazon are unbelievable. It literally turns my stomach how a company can take a work that you've worked months, possibly years on, and only give you 1/3 of the money made.
Now, for an actually p-BOOK, with editing, printing costs, paper costs, storage, shipping etc, then yeah, a heavily reduced percentage of the profits I can see.
But here, where YOU'VE done the writing, YOU'VE done the editing,
YOU'VE done the formatting, YOU'VE done everything and all Amazon is doing is taking your COMPLETED book file and just hosting it in their store, for that they take 2/3 of the profits.
It makes me sick. Literally.
