Thanks for giving actual data. My take is many producers are surprised about the royalty share-- Amazon could be more upfront with expected revenue.

The terms are monopolistic, but I mean, they have a monopoly.

The 60% cut is egregious and deserves more condemnation, especially with how much people gripe about Apple, Google's, and other parties 30% cut of payments.

Plus, I have yet to see a single retail price purchase. The biggest price someone has paid for a book I've seen a royalty payment on was $4.50.
