Setting the price of a new book
You will first set the price of your book starting with your default currency. eBooks priced at USD 2.99 and above will earn 70% of the list price. For more information on earnings, please see our What will my earnings be? article.
Once you enter the price in your default currency, you can choose to set custom prices for the other territories where we have a dedicated storefront. The system will display the converted minimum price of 0.99, but will also display a recommended price in red, which is converted from your default price, and rounded to the nearest whole number. You must click the red text to apply that converted price.
You have the ability to overwrite any of the converted prices. We highly recommend that you adjust the price to the nearest 0.99 in the major English-speaking markets to align with pricing trends.
Scheduling a sale or a future price change
You can set up either a permanent price change or a temporary sale price for a future date using the SCHEDULED PRICE CHANGES section. Please note, you can only schedule one promo price at a time.
To begin, select one of the following:
- To schedule a sale, in which your regular price drops for a limited time and then returns back to the normal/regular price, click on Schedule a sale.
- To schedule a permanent price change, where you’ll be changing your regular price from that date forward, click on Schedule a price change.
Scheduling a sale
When scheduling a sale, you will be asked to provide both a start date and an end date for your sale.
The next step will be adding in any currencies you’d like included in the sale.
Viewing a sale:
When a sale price is active in the system, the system will notify you via a special notification at the top of your CURRENT PRICES view.
The Your Sale Prices section will explicitly call out which currencies you have set special prices for. This section is NOT shown if a book is currently not on sale.
You will always be able to see dates on which you have set price changes via the Scheduled Price Changes widget.
