Kindle Edition Normalized Page Count (KENPC v2.0)

Expect to either flex with the times or expect more cuts on Kindle Unlimited program. With last year's  rate cuts on payouts for KU borrows, authors were fairly unhappy but adapted. Now additional upset comes with the announcement of recalculations of  page count in ebooks. KENPC is slashing some books 5-25%.  With changes to methods used to calculate  KU counts of pages read, most writers are feeling  pain since t KU program the basis for payment is calculated on pages actually read.  Many authors report a cut in pages and a few jave seen increased page count. It seems Kindle is shaking the money tree a bit.

This leaves authors choices - write more ebooks to mitigate any losses, abandon KU and stay in the basic Kindle program, find alternative platforms or learn to adapt to new changes by producing physical  books.



 Will  Amazon incorporate ebooks into their plans for physical stores?

What are your plans?

Nancy Hardin tackles the topic of America's Supreme Court decisions and their roles in our lives. The decisions that the court makes are not always popular (as Nancy points outs) but are based on interpretation of existing law.  A quick look inside this book (see the look inside feature after clicking the above link) gives you a glimpse into the nuggets of information you can find in this book. It is sure to be a great gift for the  legal eagle, or history buff in your family!



"In light of the recent decision to allow marriage for all people throughout the 50 states, this book shows, sometimes humorously, several Supreme Court decisions and one that's considered the "worst decision ever made by the Supreme Court.” Contrary to popular belief, the Court may not create laws. When a law is invoked in the Court, the Justices are charged with interpreting if it is lawful under the constitution or if it has been violated. They also determine how it applies to the citizens of the United States. These decisions are not always pleasing to the public, and can sometimes be humorous or felt to be wrong. Nevertheless, if the Supreme Court makes a ruling, the ruling is . . ."
