Bare Bones Introduction to Publishing Books on Amazon September 4, 2010
Bojan Tunguz (Greencastle, IN USA)
Kindle has been a revolutionary device when it comes to reading books. However, it is also, albeit more slowly, changing the way that books are published. Thanks to the zero cost of publishing electronic books almost anyone who has something to write about can now write a book of their own. The only aspects of the publishing process that still need to be outsourced are the access to a distribution network and a way to collect payment for the books that are sold. Fortunately, the Kindle Store provides a way of elegantly and effectively solving both of those issues, and this very short documents explains how this can be accomplished. This document is more of a step-by-step easy to understand and follow how-to guide rather than a full-fledged introduction to publishing with on Kindle store. Most of the material could be figured out just by going to Amazon's website, but it's useful to have it in a self-contained and accessible form. There are a few points that I think are important to keep in mind if you are interested in publishing on Amazon:
* Your book needs to be in an HTML format. This may exclude some more complex and technical works that are not easily converted into HTML.
* If you are only publishing your book in online Amazon Kindle store you will not get and ISBN, which may or may not be an issue when you try to promote your book.
* Your book will be subjected to Amazon's internal review, so publication is not automatic.
* Amazon will take either 30% or 65% royalty cut, depending on the size of your book and the price that you charge for it.
* If you are publishing your book from outside of the US Amazon will also withhold about 30% of all royalty payments for tax purposes.
As I mentioned already, this is just the barest-bones introduction to publishing in Kindle Store. For more elaborate explanation and tips on how to publish your books this way you may need to look elsewhere. There are a few books out there that deal with this and if you are serious about publishing books directly to Kindle I would recommend taking a look at one of these other publications.
