So authors needs to be very careful about what they sign.kathrynjankowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708011523767228663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1850079007551094639.post-74122979974583960432013-11-01T10:53:47.762-07:002013-11-01T10:53:47.762-07:00I actually make much more with my e-books than my ...I actually make much more with my e-books than my paperbacks. Because the cost of producing and shipping paperbacks is so much higher, I make about a quarter the percentage of the books sale than I make with e-books. I think it's all in how the contracts are written.

Would hope the contract allows you to print copies via CreateSpace or some other POD vehicle for readers who want a hard copy.<br />kathrynjankowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708011523767228663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1850079007551094639.post-69056243109100789542013-10-31T03:35:15.711-07:002013-10-31T03:35:15.711-07:00I read about that too.

Not sure what I'd do, though I'd probably sign the contract.Natalie Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756087804171246660noreply@blogger.com
