Pricing by PENDIUM takes into consideration that most booksellers, such as Amazon.com, will discount your book once placed on their site. For example, if PENDIUM priced your book at $14.95, Amazon would discount your title and sell it around $10.47 to their customers - resulting in an even better price for your readers. Note that even though a retailer may discount your book, PENDIUM bases your royalties on the price we set your book at and monies collected from these sales.
