Message: <blockquote data-quote="drl2" data-source="post: 7785179" data-attributes="member: 6983130">I had a book published around 2005-ish by a traditional publisher, because e-books hadn't quite reached legitimacy at the time and I found a company that was branching out into a new fantasy line and liked my work.  It's been out of print for a while and the rights reverted to me, so I went through the e-book publishing process a few years ago.  (No following, no advertising, no built-in audience, and I really haven't participated much in the online communities it would appeal to.  I just wanted it to still be accessible.)I'm drawing a blank on the specific name of the program on Amazon, but is your book enrolled in the one where Prime members can read it for free as part of their membership and you get a share of a pool of money derived from Prime membership fees based on how many pages have been read?  I avoided that because a) I really dislike the exclusive-to-Amazon clause, even if they are , and b) I correctly predicted that the money allocated to that pool would start high and gradually drop.I do wonder, though, if I'm still losing out by not enrolling in it.  Who knows, maybe the $4-5 a month I make from it on average across all platforms could grow to $7 or so a month!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
