"John Locke, 60, who publishes and promotes his own work, enjoys sales figures close to such literary luminaries as Stieg Larsson, James Patterson and Michael Connelly. Selling a copy every seven seconds and making him only the eighth author in history to sell a million copies on Amazon's Kindle – a milestone he passed this week. He was the first to do it using their Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)."

If you already know the benefits of having your book available on the Kindle, skip straight to the Kindle formatting service packages. If you're not sure whether you want your book on the Kindle, please read on...

As an aspiring author, you have the following options available to get published:

Traditional Publishing

  • Find an agent to submit your manuscript to a publisher.
  • Get your manuscript accepted by a publisher (this can take years).
  • You practically hand over all control of your book to the publisher.
  • Have your book publisher by the publisher (your income is 2-5% of the nett profits).
  • You work hard to promote your book (even though you are published by a traditional publisher, you still need to promote your book yourself).

Offline Self Publishing

  • Design your book interior and cover.
  • Submit your manuscript and cover to a printer (or self publishing service); usually you need to order a minimum quantity of books (e.g. 2000), and pay a sizeable amount of money.
  • You take delivery of your printed books (and you're elated with excitement).
  • Now the hard work begins: you start to promote and try to sell your books (you need to get your money back, and make a profit).

Amazon Kindle

  • You format your manuscript to the Kindle requirements.
  • You upload your manuscript to Amazon (free).
  • You promote your book online, and get up to 70% of the profits.

It's a fact that the Kindle is enjoying tremendous success, and is growing in popularity practically on a day-to-day basis.

amazon kindle ebooks

You may have seen Amazon announce that Kindle ebooks are now out-selling all other book formats on Amazon.com. For every 100 printed books sold on Amazon, they’re selling 105 ebooks.

Traditional published authors are turning more and more to the Kindle, converting their books to this format. Authors like Seth Godin, Danielle Steele, John Locke, etc.

Although the conversion to the Kindle format is not difficult, it can be time consuming, and there are a few tricks you should be aware of. If you don't have the knowledge or time to do your own Kindle conversion, a Kindle conversion service can be useful and cost-effective.
