Hardcopy comic books will be sold through Amazon’s print-on-demand self-publishing<br />
service called Createspace and ebooks will be sold through Amazon’s KDP (for Kindle Store) and<br />
Smashwords (for iBookstore and Kobo). Amazon charges an additional $25 for their expanded<br />
distribution plan to be included inside bookstores and libraries. KDP offers two royalty rates: 35%<br />
and 70%. The latter charges a delivery fee per megabyte of download so it becomes too expensive<br />
for graphics heavy books such as comic books. The artist will also try to negotiate publishing<br />
contracts with local publishers when the manuscript is near completion. Pricing below is based on<br />
the assumption that it will be a 96-page full-color comic book on U.S. Trade size (6”x9”). $2.99 is<br />
set for ebooks based on earlier research in Chapter Six that it is not too low such that the buyer may<br />
perceive it as a book worth little value, while not too high that it will steer them away. Evacomics<br />
would like to increase downloads to earn more fans for future book release, whose pricing can be<br />
increased over time as Evacomics gains credibility and reader trust.<br />
