Most aiming at English books. Amazon just started in Holland a few months ago and aren't very popular yet. You also have paypro.nl where people can sell their dutch ebooks and affiliates can promote them.
Most people start with the book asking .99 sent to get reviews and sales so they end up higher in the list. And most books that are written in india have a production cost of 500 - 1500 USD depending on how much you outsource.
I was involved in publishing a book in Holland several years ago. The (paper) book in the bookstore costed 15 euro and the writer only get 1,50 / 2,50 euro for it. I had luck, the Publisher thought we would sell max 5000. So i said than let our % low for the first 5000 and we get an extra % when we sell more as 5000. There where more than 60.000 sold and still counting.... So a 3 euro ebook can give you more profit than the traditional sales in bookstores. I must look up what % amazon wants.
