Kindle killing !!!

Hi All.

My self published book 'Degree of Exposure' was going nowhere, particularly on this site, in spite of almost 300 good reviews.

So in desperation I have just published it on Amazon Kindle.

To my surprise it has sold nearly 200 copies in the first few days at $2.95 a go.

You might fancy having a go yourselves.

Let me know how you go on.

Eric Newman

How did you decide on $2.95?

Hi Schild.

Kindle offer a range of prices. I simply chose the cheapest to get the thing going. I get 70% royalties so it is very good really.
Better than the royalties I get from Authorhouse.

I have also now put the book into the Kindle library where people can read it for free and I get a share of the library cash 'pool' if it does well enough there.

The other gimmick is offering ther book free for 5 days as a promotional wheeze.


I am trying thay now. Eric

And all you have to do is format/layout your book yourself? Or would they have everything set up themselves?

I have found the requirement for an American Tax File Number has stopped me. I assume I'll work out how eventually.
