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

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

Not exactly the answer but one of the most interesting stories I’ve heard about writing and publishing.

Why not just distribute yourself? I think it is possible. I’ve self published three books and it’s a mixed bag. You can’t control how they discount.
