Amazon Digital Comes to UK/Smashwords' Mark Coker on Future of Publishing/Another Author-turned-publisher

.

Amazon Digital has now launched in the UK. Any ebooks currently selling on Amazon.com in the US have been automatically added to the store with the dollar price transferred to £s. How does this affect the royalty percentage for UK authors? We can't find any announcements yet so assuming UK authors are still only getting the "standard" 35% royalty to the US author's 70%.

Another author turned publisher: Ray Connolly is 'doing a Dickens' and publishing his new novel, The Sandman, online chapter by chapter.
