Somewhat old (Feb 2015), so the numbers might have changed, but the methodology is still sound.

While a lot of it is stuff I've already known, I never did consider his point about offering different prices in different countries. I think we get locked in the idea that our work is worth $X in our currency so it should fetch that across the board, and I think we get hung up on the price matching issue where a site will discount a book when we don't want them to because another site runs a sale independent of the author's pricing. But he makes a good point about goods costing less in some of these developing countries where the average person might make less in a year than we might make in a day.

Some useful info to know..
Too bad it says, uploading is much more complicated on Apple than on Amazon, but I think Smash distributes to Apple among others...

Yes they do. I'm trying to see if I can set different pricing for different countries, but so far I'm not seeing that ability through SW.
