Your book’s presentation is your calling card! Just like the book cover is the point of contact with your prospective reader, your Kindle is another avenue to reach your customer and increase sales. Reading flow, a balanced layout and proper font usage are critical, as in your interior book design, and should never be underestimated.
Advantages of publishing on Kindle
Kindle books are published quickly.
A traditionally published book is essential, and there is a process. Once you have the book in your hand, the next step is to publish your kindle version on Amazon.
Kindle books cost very little to produce.
You can publish a Kindle book for free, but unless you have the skill set to do everything yourself, you may want to hire someone to design a cover for you, proofread and edit your book, format the book, and submit it to Amazon. Smiling Eyes Press have editors and proofreaders, graphic designers for your cover and Kindle designers.
The Kindle app is available for basically any type of device you own.
More and more people consume content on these devices. Kindle makes it easy for your book to be compatible with whatever devices your readers and potential readers have and brings you exposure.
Mistakes are easily corrected.
It happens. Who doesn’t make mistakes? Even if your book is edited by a professional, minor errors may still slip through, or you may decide to change a few things. Making changes is super easy on Kindle and free.
Kindle books are a great way to test market your idea.
Before you spend the time writing a full-length book, you might want to test out a shorter version you publish as a Kindle book. If the book does well, you’ll know to keep heading that same direction, and you’ll also be able to demonstrate a market for your ideas and that your work sells.
Amazon handles all the pesky details.
Although you can do a lot to promote your book on your own, Amazon takes care of many of the details of selling your book for you. For instance, it lists it on their site, handles the receipt of payment, delivers the book to the customer, deals with customer complaints, and so on.
