Does anyone know what publishers are offering in the way of royalty rates? My publisher has offered the same rate we get for the print version--15%. I note that trade publishers are offering more. Trade publishers do not have to create hyperlinks or otherwise tweak the text, however, so it may be a bit of a case of apples and oranges. In any event, if anyone can share information, it would be appreciated. BTW, the Sony eReader is just awful. And terribly expensive.
