What is Amazon's paperback?
On October 20, 2021, KDP announced that paper book (paperback) publication is now available in Japan. Although some paper selection options and printing functions are not supported in Japan, you can do everything from publishing to purchasing without any problems. When you sign in to the KDP author page ......
As shown in the image, the menu 'Create Paperback' has been added to the list of e-books published in the past. By registering the manuscript data in the same way as e-book releases, paper books can also be purchased.
There are several points that differ from the manuscript data of the e-book. First of all, in e-books, it was possible to release as long as there was a cover image, but in the case of paper books, it was necessary to prepare an image that included the spine and back cover ...
Printing settings such as 'bleed' when you want to display the image to the edge of the page and 'margin' so that the text will not be cut off when cutting after printing are essential. The manuscript data for the e-book version was not created with the assumption that it would be printed, so we had a lot of trouble completing these settings without any problems.
When the paperback publication is completed, a 'paperback' item like the image will appear on

I tried to stand it up with the image of arranging it on a bookshelf. The paper version of 'Asahime I Want to Bully You' is 88 pages long, and 93 pages including the colophon.
The back cover looks like the following. The GIGAZINE logo is treated with a
The paper version of 'Tonkatsurii Ijimetai Asahina-san' is a full-color comic with 11 episodes and 1 bonus episode. When I turned the page, the colors were printed vividly. The table of contents page on the right has a design that changes the color of the entire page, but the design is printed without interruption to the edge of the page.
Some of the bonus pages included in the Kindle version of the comic are not included in the paper book version, but you can read the 0th episode 'Two Encounters' drawn by the book in the paper book version.
As a feature of the paper book version, some images are enlarged to the edge of the page and printed to the limit.
In the following pages, there is a margin on the right side of the page, while the bottom side of the page is printed to the edge of the page. When the paperback data is submitted, Amazon's manual check is entered, and on the page where there is a warning that 'characters and characters may be cut off when cutting, there may be strange margins', so that there is no margin Edited by enlarging to the end of the page.
Understanding Pricing Calculations
The paper version of 'Anyway, Bullying Asahina-san' is double the price of the Kindle version of the comic. 'Why is it so high?' Is related to 'printing cost' and 'royalty ratio' when releasing paperbacks on Amazon.
Amazon's paperback does not deliver published paper books, but prints and delivers each time from the submitted data when ordered, so 'printing cost' is charged for each order. You can use KDP's '
The calculation result was displayed as shown in the image below. '575 yen' written as 'printing' is the printing cost, and the royalty is '25 yen for selling one book'. The 'royalty ratio' is related to why the 'minimum suggested retail price' is '958.33 yen' when the printing cost is 575 yen. In the case of paperbacks, 40% of the sales amount will be collected by Amazon, and 60% will be royalties for the publisher. However, since the printing cost is further subtracted from this 60%, if the price of a 100-page book is set at 1,000 yen, the royalty calculation formula will be '1000 x 60% - 575', so '25 per book sold Yen royalty.
For the above reasons, the price is set high, but if you think 'I don't use e-books, so I want paper books!', please check it out.
