Yes, I got that too.
New 70% KDP rate for Ireland and Gibraltar!
Has anyone else received this message from Amazon? 70% is now available for Ireland and Gibraltar. Effective from 26th June and open to all, not just authors in Select.
Good times.

I love Ireland! I went there last year and fell completely and utterly in love with it. Also, my middle grade series of novels is set on a Celtic island - I would love to have these books sold in Ireland! 
Yeah, that's what I was thinking about Gibraltar. I thought we would see The Netherlands or South Africa long before we saw that.1001nightspress said:I love Gibraltar! I got married there.
Not sure they have a huge resident population, but every bit helps.
I wouldn't mind 70% for all Amazon stores. In case they are taking a poll.
I hope they extend this to the rest of the countries in the EU soon. I understand many have their own currencies, but one EU store would be pretty handy.
These guys will stoop to anything. Once they stop increasing royalty rates, and start slashing them, you'll all see!
I sell a lot of books in South Africa so I would love to see 70% for that country. Oh well, at least two extra countries is progress.Lady Vine said:Yeah, that's what I was thinking about Gibraltar. I thought we would see The Netherlands or South Africa long before we saw that.

Quite right. They're just lulling us into a false sense of security before they cut royalties to 25% (unless we hand over our first-born child to them, in which case we might get 50% if they're feeling generous).dgaughran said:These guys will stoop to anything.

Odd I did not get that email. I wonder if I opted out some how.
I didn't get that email either. I sure hope I get it!VydorScope said:Odd I did not get that email. I wonder if I opted out some how.
Ireland goes through the .uk store, doesn't it? How is this a change?
Nope, Ireland goes through both the US and the UK store. (Was just US, but now they are trying to push us over to the UK store). But either way, there was only 35% on those sales before - whichever store they came through (AFAIK).ameliasmith said:Ireland goes through the .uk store, doesn't it? How is this a change?
You are so RIGHT David. Pure Evil. LOLdgaughran said:These guys will stoop to anything. Once they stop increasing royalty rates, and start slashing them, you'll all see!
