Amazon's 70 Percent Royalty Option for Kindle Now Available in the U.K.

Delivery costs are based on file size, and pricing is set at £0.10/MB. At today's median DTP file size of 368KB, delivery costs would be less than £0.04 per unit sold. For example, on an £5.99 (VAT exclusive) book an author would make £2.10 with the standard option and £4.17 with the new 70 percent option. This new option will be in addition to and will not replace the existing DTP standard royalty option.
