It’s 35% of the retail price you set. They do reserve the right to discount your title though. It seems like alot less hassle than getting a book published the old fashion way. And this Kindle thing is going to take off with a certain segment of the reading public. The “niche” at this point is tech savvy voracious readers with money to burn. Not such a bad niche, especially if can come up with something serialized to keep’em coming back for more. I think you would be crazy not to put your work up there and at least give it a shot. Anybody who buys this thing is going to be on the prowl for content. And there are many books that I might buy in e form for say $5-$10 that I wouldn’t buy for $17-$25.
