What's inside

A straight-talking pricing guide that reveals exactly where Amazon's royalty structure rewards — and punishes — your price choice. Includes a framework for running price tests without tanking your reviews.

  • The KDP royalty cliffs — and why $2.98 costs you 70% of your earnings
  • Price-testing protocol to find your profit-maximising price point
  • Launch pricing vs long-tail pricing (they're not the same)
  • Pricing psychology: why .99 endings still win in 2026
