There's no standard way, whether it's a big or a small publisher, to guarantee that e-book sales will be accounted for. <br />And with some big houses, it's take-it or leave-it with regard to trying to negotiate those terms.Camille Minichinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701150885595400018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-6847885757384830762010-08-03T10:18:04.796-04:002010-08-03T10:18:04.796-04:00When someone purchases one of your books to read o...When someone purchases one of your books to read on an e-reader like you own, do you get a royalty payment?<br /><br />If you don't, that would seem to me to be the same situation as a "pirate" getting a copy to read; putting the publisher in the same business class as the "pirate."<br /><br />I know for a fact that some authors with books on e-books receive no royalties from those sales.Cryptomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03056893227727583896noreply@blogger.com
