(Unless you buy it for like 99c but in that case the author isn't expecting to earn money from the promotion, they're aiming to gain some new readers). I've had people almost apologise to me for buying the eBook of one of my titles instead of a paperback and I love being able to tell them that I get an even better royalty from my eBook sales :)Kara Isaachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482245933455012714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-74385477016994528292017-06-07T11:48:32.286+10:002017-06-07T11:48:32.286+10:00Hi Ian!

You could have knocked me down when I discovered it was Can't Help Falling being sold by a giveaway winner!<br /><br />I have looked at KindleUnlimited (and have enrolled Then There Was You to be in the programme when it releases). From what I've observed there are many indie books in it and a number of new releases from smaller publishers but no new releases from the larger CBA traditional publishers. I'm not a member because I prefer to buy my eBooks but I know for people who are on a tight budget that they love it!Kara Isaachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482245933455012714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-14922557802833008752017-06-07T10:58:58.214+10:002017-06-07T10:58:58.214+10:00thanks for this clear explanation. thanks for this clear explanation.

I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge. <br />I don't have any books out yet but as a reader who uses amazon a lot, it's good to know what I should be looking out for. <br />It's also great to know what authors earn for ebooks. I do buy a lot of ebooks and wasn't sure it was the best option for the return authors get. I'm happy to know that it's actually quite a good option for both parties. <br />All the best with your new book!Linseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15238030299971383153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-31019316030618598992017-06-07T09:49:59.353+10:002017-06-07T09:49:59.353+10:00Thanks Kara for the insight.

(AG is also 4 years old now)<br /><br />But it does surprise me that it happened to your 2nd one - golly gosh, it's less than a year old.<br /><br />I must be more careful in future.<br /><br />BTW ... have you looked into KindleUnlimited yet - $US9.99 per mth for all you can read. If you've looked at it, does it include the majority of ebooks?<br /><br />Bless ..Ian Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192687613923596829noreply@blogger.com
