How do they split income in this case?

Sadly, I don't know :l
Amazon introduces this feature in Italya about...one week ago? But I can't find any information at all in KDP.
I know that, since I did the KDP promotion, I'm automatically in for Kindle Unlimited, but sadly I don't know how much I will gain in case someone will lend my book.
Ok. I wanted to know because I don't know if should I subscribe to this borrowing thing.
If only I knew Italian...

I wish you much success!!!
Congratulations!!!
I, sincerely, wish you the best!!!

Well, it depends on how much books you read each month. Here in Italy you pay 10€/month, and you have a nice, great selection of books (in example there are all Harry Potter books). If you read, let's say, five books per month, it could have sense subscribing the service.
I use a lot library lend in my town, but to do so you need money anyway (gasoline to travel). Maybe if I had a Kindle (sadly, I don't own one at the moment, lol), I would subscribe to read all Game of thrones books (just an example, since those are not included in the service).
It's not that the problem. My problem is with money distribution and until I see something clear about it I don't think I will subscribe yet. Most popular books aren't available in the Unlimited plan anyway from what I saw. So you wouldn't be able to get Game of Thrones anyway.

That's awesome, ThePunishedSnake! Congratulations. I hope your book will find its audience :).

Well, I decided to do a promo for the book. Actually, due to Amazon policies, this works only on Amazon uk and com, so if you are italian you will see the book for full price here, but you can buy it from Amazon.com or UK, I think, with the discounted price.

How are sales going?

After your 3-month obligation to Amazon, you may want to think about going to Smashwords. I have STILL not done this, but I hear you can do much better with Smashwords. I really need to get on that!

My best sale was on Groupees. Almost $100 in 12 days. Not too shabby. But I don't know if they'll do an Italian book. You could give it a try, though! Next time they stop by the GOG forums to announce that they're doing another community bundle, you can submit. Nice to make a little money quickly.

Good luck with the promo! I hope you get some sales.

As you know, finding a job here in Italy at the moment is hard. Very hard.
After a while I decided to do something different (and in the meanwhile, of course, I'm looking for a job).

So I wrote a book, a long novel, and I used Amazon to distribute it. The book is totally DRM-free, and it costs like two coffee.

For me it's a little dream becoming true and well, my real dream is to become a TRUE writer, but let'st proceed one step each time.

This is the link of the book

http://www.amazon.it/avventure-di-Mister-Twinsee-ebook/dp/B00LSYBI30/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405402311&sr=8-1&keywords=le+avventure+di+mister+twinsee

I linked the italian Amazon site here, but you can search for it on your local Amazon and you will find it :)

The price is the same for all countries, naturally.

I hope this is the beginning of something good :)

Oh, I almost forgot: if you don't have a Kindle, you can read the book on your PC simply by using the software Amazon gives you for those situations.

The book is only in italian language, for now, but I hope to add more languages if the italian version does well.

EDIT: I've created a Facebook page to promote the book, here's the link:

Congratulations, man! Wish you the very best! I wish i knew italian, too... I would undoubtedly have gotten it, then.

I was thinking about writing a novel myself too, but i quickly dismissed the idea. I was planning to draw inspiration from past experiences of mine of real life, people and events, and many people would get sick just by reading it, or be shocked really hard...
