Kee, Lagi, Chip, and Bob, Thanks again for the kind words. I hope you all enjoy the book. :-)
Let me clarify some things because I can see how people are confused about me messaging about the book now. So, the book hasn't changed, this is not an update on the content. This was a price reduction I made because I want to prepare myself to start selling books on Amazon. You may not be aware but if I price the book between 1.99 and 9.99 on Amazon, I get 70% royalties. But, if I price it above 9.99, I get only 35%. This means that I get more money from pricing it 9.99 than if I price it higher, unless I price it much higher. Basically, 9.99 gives the the same amount of royalties as if I priced it 20. That is of course only for Amazon. All the other players in the market give you 70% regardless of how you price it. Amazon makes this rule to force the prices down. And before you think this is good, be aware that this makes it a lot harder to make a living out of books. Which makes it detrimental to the quality of books being shipped since an author can't justify working longer or producing a larger book since they won't be able to charge a fair price. But that is publishing politics and I won't go too deep into it here, I just thought you folks should know. So that little campaign was made to: * Teach me how to use book brush which is an online tool to create specialized artwork for book authors/publishers. I used to make the nice art you might have seen on the FB group or the forum. * Let me see if people will actually buy a 9.99 book. My leanpub royalties page (which has some automatic statistical recommendation in it) was telling me to price the book higher than 20. * Check if people are OK buying directly from my site, which makes me much more confident of the process and in control. I'm working towards switching from being a developer to being a writer. This is a long process and this was a step forward. The next step is producing a new LC book from scratch without relying on Leanpub and making it available in multiple stores. It will probably be a short book, very focused on some specific topic that I haven't yet decided on. I believe that we need more books in our community :-) Kind regards Andre On Wed, 30 Dec 2020 at 23:54, Lagi Pittas via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Sorry maybe it's October 8th as I think you use American format dates. > > Lagi > > On Wed, 30 Dec 2020 at 00:28, Andre Garzia via use-livecode < > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > > Hey Friends, > > > > I've reduced the price of my LiveCode eBook to £9.99.
