Another reason to buy direct from author

… or anywhere but the ‘River App’.

I just don’t understand Amazon’s pricing. I just found my Blood Ties (Paperback RRP AU$16.99/US$11.99) on Amazon AU for $46.55! Holy sh***!
Please note I have absolutely no say in how Amazon prices my books (which they source from Ingram Spark or Draft2Digital.

For comparison, Booktopia is selling it for AU$20.56.

I know bookshops need a markup, but Amazon’s price is over twice the RRP – and I don’t see a cent more!

And the current eBook price (RRP US$1.99) is AU$4.39!

 

I’ve heard similar stories from other indie authors, especially for books published this year.

All the books in my website shop have a ‘universal link‘ for online bookstores they are available to purchase.
So, please, when you’re buying a book, shop around. And remember, the author doesn’t get paid any more just because the price is jacked up!
