David Thorne Earned More With Self-Pub Book Than Traditional Publication - AppNewser: For David Thorne, a NYT Bestselling author, self-publishing has been more profitable than working with a traditional publisher.
In fact, the author has made more money from his newly self-published book I’ll Go Home Then; It’s Warm and Has Chairs, than he did from his book The Internet is a Playground, which was published by Penguin’s Tarcher imprint.

CreateSpace Featured Author Theresa Ragan Talks Indie Publishing | Good E-Reader - ebook Reader and Digital Publishing News
CreateSpace Featured Author Theresa Ragan Talks Indie Publishing | Good E-Reader - ebook Reader and Digital Publishing News: Romance author Theresa Ragan, a featured author through the CreateSpace platform who also publishes her mystery and thriller titles under the name T. R. Ragan, spoke to GoodEReader at BookExpo America last week about how both options are ideally suited for self-published authors. In the case of Ragan, who actually sold over 250,000 ebooks in her first year of indie publication, the attention her books received in terms of sales led to a contract for her books to be published by Thomas & Mercer, the mystery imprint of Amazon’s traditional publishing house, Amazon Publishing.
The Amazon Effect | The Nation
The Amazon Effect | The Nation:
From the start, Jeff Bezos wanted to “get big fast.” He was never a “small is beautiful” kind of guy. The Brobdingnagian numbers tell much of the story. In 1994, four years after the first Internet browser was created, Bezos stumbled upon a startling statistic: the Internet had been growing at the rate of 2,300 percent annually. In 1995, the year Bezos, then 31, started Amazon, just 16 million people used the Internet. A year later, the number was 36 million, a figure that would multiply at a furious rate. Today, more than 1.7 billion people, or almost one out of every four humans on the planet, are online. Bezos understood two things. One was the way the Internet made it possible to banish geography, enabling anyone with an Internet connection and a computer to browse a seemingly limitless universe of goods with a precision never previously known and then buy them directly from the comfort of their homes. The second was how the Internet allowed merchants to gather vast amounts of personal information on individual customers.
