Royalties
We pay you 60% of the retail price after deduction of Credit or Debit Card Charges, which vary according to the type of card and issuing bank, and deduction of VAT (The Customs and Excise consider E-book downloads to be a service, not a sale of a book.)
Protecting The Author's Rights
Regarding protecting authors rights, we are often asked how we stop work being downloaded and then simply passed around the Internet. Firstly in our experience we have don't have any evidence that this happens to any great extent, and if it does then it is only amongst small groups. We take the attitude that it is no worse than buying a hard copy of a novel which is subsequently read by several members of the same circle of family and friends. We have tried encryption software but visitors were often reluctant to download and install the software to their computers. Once we dropped that idea sales quadrupled over night. So for the moment we have settled on a simpler approach. But we do constantly monitor the situation and notice that very few e-books sold from any Internet site are actually sold any differently. Its easier to flash a credit card for a few bucks than search the Internet for a free copy, it simply isn't worth the hassle!
We do however password protect the Acrobat files which stops coping and pasting, or altering of the text. Unless the author specifically requests otherwise, we do allow them be printed by purchasers on a normal home or office printer to read off-line.
