Would someone provide some more details around the $10 threshold for Kindle Direct Publishing? I read the page linked from the article [1], and it looked like the two options were 35% royalties or 70% royalties, and the qualifications for the 70% royalties didn't seem to mention any sort of pricing requirements.

Interesting write-up. I wonder if the OP would bother with listing on Amazon next time?

I wouldn't bother. For me, the revenue isn't worth it. Even under $10, not all sales get 70%. Some still only get 35%. Pragprog was definitely more worthwhile. Sales were more substantial and the folks at pragprog are fantastic. Very professional and easy to work with.

I would. There really wasn't much 'bother' to speak of once I understood how it worked. And even though it wasn't as fruitful as other efforts, many small returns add up quickly.
