Getting Your Book Published For Kindle | Mike's Life

I have no doubt that Kindle is the future of publishing. I?ve been using mine for over a year now, and I love it!

As a consumer, then, I?m sold on the Kindle. Which is why it?s strange that although I?ve had a book in print for some years, until today, it was only available in paperback, or as a rather clunky PDF download.

The reason is simple ? Amazon?s ?Front end? is brilliant and so easy to use, but, speaking as someone who also sells ?things? through Amazon, their ?back end? is fiendishly complicated and not at all user-friendly.

I recall looking at how to go about uploading my book for Kindle a couple of years ago, and I?m not ashamed to admit that I gave up.

Then I discovered http://www.ebook2ereader.com/ !

I am not exaggerating here, but their service is nothing short of brilliant. In the space of a few days, with less than 15 minutes work needed by me (and most of that was writing my author profile!) I have my book available for Kindle today.

Here?s what they do:

• You send them the book in pretty much any format, typically PDF or Word
• They then change it to suit the Kindle (things like indented first paragraphs)
• Next they convert it to Amazon?s ?Mobi? format, preserving images in colour or black and white
• Then they create an ?active? menu, which means people can click to each chapter and it also includes the navigation bar so people can jump to various parts of the book
• Finally they create a cover image for you and send you all the relevant files

The files are sent to you with a really simple guide, which starts by giving you the link the author area and then takes you through, step by step, how to upload your book and your author?s notes.

It couldn?t have been easier, and you need no special knowledge.

The beauty of Kindle publishing is that you set your own pricing, so even if you have a small book, you can sell it at a low price. You also have the option to opt into the Kindle Library service where people can ?borrow? the book and you get a cut of the overall money pool that is generated.

I can?t recommend this service highly enough, and I?m excited that we have several books planned over the next six months, so I will be using it over and over again.

For my Living in Lanzarote book the price was $99 (about ?75) ? I?ve made half of that back with one message on Facebook saying it?s available on Kindle! Pricing varies according to how much work they need to do, but they have a quote service on the site.

I?m very happy to vouch for them.

Here?s their link again: Convert your manuscript to Kindle????

And having read this, I?m sure you want to buy my book, so here?s the link to it!! Living in Lanzarote ? Kindle Edition
