In 2012, Apple had made iBooks Author, which allows users to create their own textbooks and other interactive ebooks. Thursday, Amazon is positioning itself as a competitor in the segment by launching Textbook Creator, a tool offering users to convert PDF files, hungry storage space, and publish via Kindle Direct Publishing. The tool is available in Download Free for Mac and Windows.
For now, the only available language is English, and all manuals created using this tool will be marketable as via the Kindle Store, obviously. A similar rule has sparked controversy at the launch of iBooks Author.
Apparently revenue sharing on the platform of Amazon will be as usual: the authors receive 70% royalties when their ebook is priced between $ 2.99 and $ 9.99, but they receive only 30% on books sold at higher prices
Gold textbooks usually cost more than the cap of $ 9.99. At the Apple competitor, iBooks Author platform pays its authors in contrast to 70%, and regardless of the entire cost of the ebook readers.
For matters relating to the issue of compensation, Amazon, however, that the company will listen to feedback from its users.
