What is roughly the deal authors get for kindle books? (ie they get a % of each sale)

70% for ebooks, 60% for physicals...was just researching this the other day. free to publish on there but amazon owns exclusive sales rights unless u buy ur own isbn # separately https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G200644210

This does not take into account if you have a publisher who may be taking a % too right?

I mean if u already have like a preexisting thing, then u may have a contract with a publisher already but self-publishing on amazon is free

that's on the author i suppose to promote it to their audience. u can add tags to it so it'll come up based on keyword searches. as an artist, i'm a terrible marketer lol i did learn tho that a lot of bookstores wont accept self-published things from amazon. there's other free/cheap self-publishers that work directly with bookstores like indy ones, Barnes&Noble, public libraries, schools, etc. via catalogs. you can self-publish on both no problem also owning your own ISBN seems like the way to go vs getting a free one from a company because u have control over it
