I saw this posted today, I thought it was worth putting here. The October KU payout amount per page was 0.004809 of a cent.

Try about $2.40 per book.
EDIT: Oops I see she said 0.004809 of a cent. Pretty sure she meant .004808 cents. Last edited by AnemicOak; 11-14-2015 at 08:51 PM. |

Take off the "of a cent." It's about $.0048 --not quite half a cent per page. They calculate the page by a formula that takes into account fonts and so on. The rumor/speculation is that the payment will continue to go down until the average book is paying out at about 1.30 per book (These are guesses based on past payouts and on where the stars point to Amazon breaking even or making money off the subscription service. But it's all a guess). The only thing not a guess is that the payment trend has been down. VERY, VERY slowly, but down.

Has anyone else noticed their commissions dropping significantly by this change? Mine has plummeted.

I don't think it's genre dependent as there are authors in every genre having success with the program--and also those who have had no luck with it. |

Do authors get paid by the page for Kindle Owner's Lending Library (the once a month Prime book) books, too? Or is the payment scheme different for KOLL books?

I thought they had left the KOLL as borrow=paid, but apparently not. If they read it, we get paid. If they borrow and forget, we don't. (Full disclosure: My books are now all out of select/exclusive with Amazon. The rules no longer affect me.) |

If I clicked through the KU book to the end on Kindle Cloud Reader, I guess that would mean the author would get paid for the whole book, as it's been read, while I could download and transfer via usb and leave my Kindle in airplane mode with a clear conscience?
