Miller's approach avoids all the uncertainty and complexity of negotiations over print versus electronic royalties. "For us, it's moot because [whether] audiobook, e-book or foreign rights, it all goes into a shared pool of revenue from which we subtract all our costs and then split the difference," he notes. "So authors who are working with us are getting 50 percent of the profits of e-books as well as all the other formats of the book, a 50/50 split across the board, which helps get you past having to count which splits are better or worse and how you publish the different formats. It tends to take the focus away from which formats are making which amounts of money."
