deirdreAs some of you may know, I've been considering selling a copy of my published short on various sites, so I thought I'd do a round up on what the requirements are.
I'm surprised at the variation. Author royalties on 1000 copies of a $0.99 cent book vary from $170.40 (Kindle store via Smashwords vs. $309 selling via Amazon directly) to $643.50 (B&N with no ISBN) to $693 (iBooks if you have an ISBN).
That's a huge chunk of change. Assuming you sell those copies over the course of a year, it's up to $43/month difference. Assuming you sell them across the various stores evenly, it'll be around $500 net to you for those 1000 copies.
Oh, and buying ISBNs sucks. Considering going in on it with a local group.
