| Summary |
According to Jeff Bezos, the founder, president, and CEO of Amazon.com, Inc., for every 100 hardcover books that Amazon sells, it sells 143 Kindle e-books. Some publishers are considering advertising in their e-books and 83 percent of parents are encouraging their children to read books on an e-reader. When Amazon first launched the Kindle in 2007, it provided what many people felt was a major leap forward for digital publication of mainstream books. Until that point, publication had remained the one point where the Internet had not moved forward all that much – people want the feel of paper and the aesthetic of reading a book they can hold. Now, millions are looking to the low cost, high profit realm of digital publication through Kindle. This book has been written as a guide for anyone who has found the exciting new prospect of publishing a Kindle book, but didn’t know where to start.

You will learn what formats are accepted and how the review and publication process works through Amazon to get your book published.

We interviewed Kindle writers and Amazon experts for this book to provide a complete overview of everything you need to know about publishing your Kindle book.

You will learn the basics of Web promotion and building a business with digital publications on Amazon.
