  The price range is determined by the royalty rate and file size, not the subject matter.
  
  Amazon KDP price guidelines vary by:
  
  1. the royalty rate (35% or 70%)
  2. the file size of the ebook (if the 35% rate is chosen)
  
  As of April 15, 2016, the [List Price Requirements page](https://kdp.amazon.com/help?topicId=A301WJ6XCJ8KW0) for Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing gave the following minimum and maximum prices for sales in the US:
  
  * The 35% Royalty Option
  
    + Ebook is less than 3 megabytes: min price $0.99, max price $200.00
    + Greater than or equal to 3 megabytes and less than 10 megabytes: min price $ 1.99, max price $200.00
    + 10 megabytes or greater: min $ 2.99, max $200.00
  * The 70% Royalty Option
  
    + Minimum price $ 2.99, maximum price $9.99
    + There is a Delivery Cost of US $0.15/MB applied to the 70% Royalty Option.
  
  If you are hitting a lower limit of $1.99, what happens when you submit a revised copy of the book that is less than 3 megabytes in size?
