How are royalties calculated?

If you select the 35 percent royalty option, royalties will be equal to 35 percent of your List Price. If you select the 70 percent royalty option, royalties will be equal to 70 percent of your List Price, less Delivery Costs. But if we sell the book at a price that is below the List Price (after deducting 15% (the statutory Luxembourg VAT rate) for sales to UK customers) to match the price at which a third party sells any digital or physical edition of the book or our price for a physical edition of the book, you will receive 70 percent of our sale price for each eligible book sold to US and UK customers , less Delivery Costs, and less 15% (the statutory Luxembourg VAT rate) for sales to UK customers. Royalties for sales to non-US and –UK customers are calculated based on the 35 percent royalty option. For full details see the Pricing Page and Terms and Conditions.

What is the delivery cost for?

Delivery costs are based on file size and assessed on a per unit basis. Delivery costs will only be assesed if you have selected the 70 percent royalty option.

Kindle Book Lending FAQ

What is Kindle Book Lending?

The Kindle Book Lending feature will allow users to lend digital books they have purchased through the Kindle Store to their friends and family. Each book may be lent once for a duration of 14 days and will not be readable by the lender during the loan period. All DTP titles are enrolled in lending by default. For titles in the 35% royalty option, you may choose to opt out of lending by deselecting the checkbox under ‘Kindle Book Lending,’ but you may not choose to opt out a title if it is included in the lending program of another sales or distribution channel. For more details, see section 5.2.2 of the Terms and Conditions.
