KDP has always paid its authors 60% royalty rates. On June 10th, it changed to 50% if you have your book priced at $9.98 or lower. This change stirred up a lot of commotion and even confusion. For example, when the change went into effect, my $11.99 book was flagged for having the 50% royalty rate change, and it was immediately clear why. But I did eventually figure it out, so my goal with this video is to clear things up and explain things for indie authors.
