    Can someone explain how the 35% vs 70% royalty tiers work? I read the help docs but I am confused about the delivery costs for ebooks. When does it make sense to use each tier?

    Go 70% for ebooks priced between $2.99 and $9.99 in supported countries. The delivery fee is minimal for most ebooks. Only use 35% if you need to price below $2.99.

    Quick rule: if your ebook is under 10MB and priced $2.99+, always choose 70%. The math works out better almost every time.
