Amazon Kindle expands into Japan


Amazon have added Japan to their ever-growing list of Amazon sites to carry Kindle books, bringing the total to seven sites: U.S. (also serves India and Canada), Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Japan. Royalties are paid at only 35% for all sales to Japan — perhaps this is why Amazon have launched the site with so little fanfare: not a word of it is mentioned in the 24 October KDP newsletter.

KDP authors will now see the sales channel on their reports page, and can set a separate price in yen if so desired.
