Reasonable compensation for photos published in ebook

[Edwin Barkdoll]

I was just approached by someone to publish some of my photos in an ebook (unipressbooks.com). I was offered a max of $64USD per photo used in the book. This is not something I am very familiar with however I have been paid $200 to $500 per photo in an online/print magazine in the past.

Is $64USD ridiculous? I am tempted to simply say "thanks but no thanks."

Thanks.

Ten photos would be about $640 (10 X $64) which is actually not bad depending on the pictures. Sometimes you have to take the little ones, while you wait for ther big ones.

Getty sold two of my images to Field & Stream, appearing on the first page of their online magazine. Getty collected $100 each and paid me $20 each.

The cover of F&S used to command $5,000, then it went to $1,500 and now there is no cover.
