10% of net income does not sound like a good deal at all. 10% of gross revenue for the product would be much better, but still why so little?

It's also 10% of any form, even electronic:

"as a result of our distribution of the book, in any form, printed, electronic, or other, or from the license or sale to third parties of any rights in a derivative work."



Especially since "net income" is basically a made up number. If they buy a new factory to print books out of, they can divide up the cost however they want amongst their authors. Stuff like that. "Net income" is entirely under their control.
