KINDLE UNLIMITED PRICE FOR FREE
Then you can add Amazon Prime Reading to the menu, where Prime members can read an ebook for free every month.Īre the days of simply selling an ebook finished?Ĭomparison of KENP earnings to ebook sales Quite simply, this means that getting more readers to read more pages is the only way to increase an author’s income from readers with a Kindle Unlimited membership subscription. In the end, it all boils down to the number of 187-word pages and not the number of fully read books. It’s all about page reads per 30 days and not about books read per month. With KENP, it doesn’t matter if the 1,000 pages were read by a couple of readers who finished the book or by 500 readers who only read a couple of pages. On average, Amazon pays around $4.78 per 1,000 pages. So this number can vary a little.įor every 1,000 pages read, authors get between $4.00 and $5.00, which equates t0 $0.004 and $0.005 per page. I just did a quick check on two of my ebooks. The only way to calculate reasonably accurately now is to divide the total word count of a book by the number of pages Amazon shows on the Kindle ebook details page. But any reference to it has now disappeared from its site. This number was stated by Amazon a few years ago. The only basis to use is that Amazon calculates a page to be about 187 words. There is little point in trying to calculate pay per page read against copies sold, as there is no way of knowing if a KU reader read the whole Kindle book. But will it mean that authors starve for an income as a result?
It is an excellent bargain for avid readers who want to save money. The price is only $3.00 per month for Indian Kindle Unlimited subscribers. In fact, a KU subscription can cost even less. Now it is as many books per month that you can read for $9.99 after a one-month free trial. The days of reading one book and then buying and reading another are finished.
Is Kindle Unlimited pay per page fair for authors? Why buy an ebook?
