You found this book because you searched for exactly what it delivers.
The same book.
Very different outcomes for the writer.
When a reader buys an indie ebook through a major retailer, the platform takes a commission and the author keeps what is left.
On a $4.99 ebook in the standard Kindle store, that often works out to roughly $3.49 for the author.
On Kindle Unlimited page-reads, the per-book equivalent can fall well below $2.
When the same reader buys the same book directly from the author through a small payments service such as Lemon Squeezy or Gumroad, the author keeps roughly $4.30 after card processing.
That is a 25 to 60 per cent uplift, on the same sale, with no extra cost to the reader.
For a self published author with a small catalogue, that uplift is the difference between writing as a hobby and writing as a sustainable career.
Direct sales fund the next book.
Including on a Kindle.
Especially on a Kindle.
The most common reason readers hesitate to buy direct is the assumption that the file will not work on their preferred device. In practice it works on every device. The format you receive is EPUB, the open ebook standard.
In every case, the file is a plain document you own. No retailer can revoke it, expire it, or remove it from your library.
Slow burn enemies to lovers space opera.

Everything readers ask before their first direct purchase.
You buy the ebook from the author's own website rather than from Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, or another retailer.
The author keeps a much larger share of every sale instead of paying a 30 to 65 per cent platform commission.
You receive a DRM-free file that is yours to keep, on any device, in any app.
No platform sits between you and the book you paid for.
On a $4.99 ebook sold through Amazon Kindle Unlimited or the standard Kindle store, the author can take home as little as $1.75 to $3.49 after platform fees, depending on royalty tier and territory.
Buying the same book direct from the author through Lemon Squeezy or Gumroad sends roughly $4.30 to the author after payment processing.
For a self published author, that is the difference between writing as a hobby and writing as a sustainable career.
DRM stands for Digital Rights Management.
It is software that locks an ebook to a single retailer's app or device.
An ebook with DRM can be removed from your library by the retailer at any time, and it stops working if the retailer shuts down or changes terms.
A DRM-free EPUB is a plain file you can back up, copy between devices, and read in any reading app for as long as you have the file.
It is yours.
Amazon's own Send to Kindle service accepts EPUB files.
Email the file to your kindle.com address, drop it into the Send to Kindle web tool, or use the Send to Kindle app.
The book appears in your Kindle library within minutes and reads exactly like any other Kindle book.
If you prefer not to use Send to Kindle, the free Calibre app converts EPUB to Kindle's MOBI or AZW3 format in seconds.
EPUB is the open ebook standard.
It works natively on Kobo, Apple Books, Google Play Books, Nook, and most reading apps.
On iPhone and iPad, EPUB files open in Apple Books with a single tap.
On Android, apps such as Google Play Books, Moon Reader, and Lithium open EPUB directly.
On desktop, free apps like Calibre and Thorium let you read EPUB on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Distribution choice.
Selling direct gives the author and the reader a better deal, and it keeps the book free of any single platform's terms of service.
Wide retail distribution is planned but not yet live.
For now, the book is available direct from the author at spacemance.com.
