I self-published three ebooks at Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) on the 28th May, 2012. The three books are from my Kate Gomolemo Detective Series: Anything for Money, Murder for Profit, andClaws of a Killer. There is a lot of hype around the money people are earning with their books on Amazon. I think it's time to get some honesty out there so that people enter with their eyes wide open.
First, there are some issues that work against writers from Botswana (actually all African countries) publishing at KDP.
1. Amazon will keep 30% of all of your royalties for United States tax.
2. No matter what price you set your book at, Amazon will add $2 to it. The reason apparently is that it costs more for them to do business in Botswana.
