KINDLE AUTHORS

ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT THE KINDLE REVOLUTION IS THAT IT HAS BROUGHT ON A TON OF NEW AUTHORS.  YOU CAN STILL BUY AND READ YOUR FAVORITE AUTHORS AND BOOKS, BUT YOU’LL PAY $15 FOR EACH BOOK.

TODAY ON THE INTERNET ANYBODY AND THEIR BROTHER CAN PUBLISH AN E-BOOK. HEY, UNCLE HANS, YOU GOT A SPOONER SNOWMOBILE MURDER MYSTERY ROLLING AROUND IN YOUR HEAD?

AFTER YOU WRITE YOUR NEW BOOK, YOU UPLOAD IT TO THE KINDLE STORE AND PURE CAPITALISM TAKES OVER. YOU RECIEVE A PERCENTAGE ON EVERY BOOK SOLD TO A KINDLE READER.

MANY NEW AUTHORS START WITH THEIR FIRST BOOK PRICED AT .99 CENTS, AND THEN SELL THE SEQUEL AT $2 OR $3 DOLLARS. SIMPLE, IF YOUR BOOK IS ANY GOOD, IT SELLS LIKE HOTCAKES AND READERS WANT MORE, OR IF YOUR BOOK IS A PIECE OF SHIT IT DOESN’T SELL.

TWO RV BLOGGERS THAT I READ DAILY HAVE BECOME FICTION AUTHORS, NICK RUSSEL AND BRIAN GORE. I BOUGHT AND READ NICK’S FIRST BOOK, BIG LAKE, FOR .99 CENTS AND IT WAS A PAGE TURNER, WHO DONE IT? WILL I COUGH UP $2.99 FOR THE NEXT BOOK IN THE SERIES? YUP.

(THE CURRENT “DOORS AND DRAWERS” SCORE: 18 DONE, AND 32 TO GO.)
