Hi

Any budding Authors out there?

You can now publish your own MS directly onto the Amazon Kindle and distribute it Worldwide for NOTHING!

Yep - I thought it was too good to be true. But it is correct - there is a few things you need to do to your document to make it look "Good" on the Kindle page...but you use the website -

kdp.amazon.com


You set it all up - so you really need to have the book proofread and corrected - then you type in a blurb that will appear on the shop page - then you set up the cost!! and yes you can make it really cheap to attract readers...then you upload the Document...and within a couple of hours you can go on your kindle and search for your book!

I have even done a couple of Short Stories and transferred them to kindle - Really easily.

As you can guess I am a Kindle convert and now prefer reading it to a "Real" Book - But a little annoyed at amazon for making the new "Cheap" kindle £89 when the USA version is the same in Dollars!

Shoot any Questions about Kindle Publishing if you get stuck!

Cheers

I'm a modest sort of chap.

Unlike other Littles I do not aspire to greatness..

Multum in Parvo is more accurate; 'There is much in little'

Right now it's haddock and Pinot Grigio in a Glastonbury restaurant.

T'was very nice.
