KDP Paperback

Wow - I decided to offer one of my ebooks as a paperback on Amazon - what a performance!
It took ALL DAY fiddling around with image sizes and adjusting the text. And then, when I finally got it right I discovered that for every paperback I sell for £5.99 I'll pocket £1.63 - just not worth it.

H pi we much were you expecting to receive per book sold?

@justanothername I had no idea but it does seem greedy of Jeff and co seeing as via my own website I can sell via PayPal and only lose THREE per cent of the cover price.

@TheLush You have less overheads and zero market share compared to Amazon.

Also you could get big returns overnight if your book got rave reviews and ended up on a top 10 recommendation list.
