The “file size after conversion” is much smaller (5.49 MB) than the file we uploaded, which was 19.16 MB.The uploaded file size is 5.49 MB and Amazon’s calculator says the delivery cost is $0.82. In this example, Anonymous Is a Woman has numerous graphics and other image elements, which results in higher delivery costs. (In KDP, after listing your eBook, the final screen is the pricing page.)
The most reliable and precise way to calculate the Kindle delivery fee is to upload your file to KDP’s pricing page and see what the tool says. You can do a rough estimate by multiplying the delivery fee times your file’s size, but that will not be accurate. There is no delivery fee for books priced below $2.99 or above $9.99 (the 35% royalty option). There is a minimum charge of $0.01 and delivery fees vary by country. This is in addition to the sales commission you pay Amazon for each sale.Īmazon charges $0.15 per megabyte (MB)-the file size of your Kindle eBook-for each book sold priced between $2.99 and $9.99 assuming you choose the 70% royalty option (see below). The KDP self-publishing portal is unique among all the other eBook selling platforms (Apple, B&N, Google, Kobo, etc.) because it often charges a delivery fee to send books to buyers. Also see our guide for how to decide what to charge for your book in Part 2: How Much to Charge When Pricing a Self-Published Book to Sell on Amazon See the list of resources at the bottom of this post for more details.) (Note that Amazon’s other book-selling platforms, Amazon Advantage and SellerCentral/Marketplace, have different cost structures. This article looks in detail at the formats sold and supported using KDP: Kindle eBooks, and print-on-demand paperbacks and hardcovers produced using KDP Print.
Setting a selling price for self-published Kindle eBooks or KDP Print books (formerly CreateSpace) sold on Amazon begins with understanding your costs.
