Download the whole guide HERE at no cost.] Cruise any of the writer’s forums on the internet and you’re bound to find a log of discussions on the topic of eBook pricing. You’ll find legions of authors who are enjoying success — and best net sales revenue per book — at the currently popular price levels of $4.99 to $9.99. They’re making the maximum royalty from the eBook retailers — up to 70% returned to the author — and believe the higher prices begin to reflect the quality and value of their efforts.

Yesterday, at an event in New York, Apple released an update to its iBooks app, along with an all-new authoring application that makes it very easy to create stunning interactive books for the iPad. On the surface of things, this seemed to be an education-related event, with a focus on using the authoring tool, iBooks Author, to create textbooks for sale through the iBookstore.

This is where things start to get interesting.

Luminos The Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria are exceptional for the copresence among them of three religious traditions: Islam, Christianity, and the indigenous oriṣa religion. In this comparative study, at once historical and anthropological, Peel explores the intertwined character of the three religions and the dense imbrication of religion in all aspects of Yoruba history up to the present.
