how much do the average writers on amazon ebooks make
Divide this into total revenue (again, $910m) and we get an average revenue per Amazon ebook in 2012 of $484. The last step is to estimate out how much the authors are making from these sales. What we need to know is how many of those 1.87m titles are priced under $2.99 (35% royalty) vs. $2.99 and up (70% royalty).
