Is it worth publishing my blog on Kindle?

"All of the content on my blog is available free of charge online, so why on earth would anyone want to pay for it?"

"Blog content is auto-delivered wirelessly to your Kindle and updated throughout the day. The Kindle is small and lightweight; much more portable and manageable than a laptop. You can read offline and catch up on your reading in your spare time – when you’re away from your computer screen, and wherever you are."

How to Publish Your Blog on the Amazon Kindle

"There are some interesting things you can do with a Kindle. One of them is the ability to subscribe to and read your favorite blogs on the go. In fact, this is how my mother reads my blog posts – via Mashable on the Kindle.

It’s an easy and on-the-go way to read your favorite blogs, but it was only available to a few high-profile web publications – at least, until today, when Amazon launched its Kindle Publishing for Blogs program. Now that you know about the program, your next question might be: how do I get my blog syndicated to thousands of Kindles?"

How to publish your blog to Kindle (Britmums Blog)

"• Look at this as a marketing tool rather than a get-rich-quick scheme. Your commission is 30%. This isn’t going to make you an overnight fortune.
[...]
• Ask everyone to review your blog. It is free to review and it gives subscribers an idea of what to expect."

Kindle and 'an odd boy'

"For my birthday in May I received a Kindle. I have been so delighted with this gift and have been reading much more than I was previously and thoroughly enjoying that. It is so easy to download books and such a convenient way to read. I am now working on converting Relaxing into Meditation into Kindle format so that I can make this available for download."

Kindle For The Web: How It Can Be Used By Authors

"Instead of tweeting “buy my book” all the time, you can write “read first chapter of my book for free”. Remember, we never know what is the current mood of our followers on Twitter or friends on Facebook. Some of them are willing to buy, some - to test before buying (but don’t feel like downloading a free sample to their Kindle or tablet)."

Change the font on your Kindle without hacking it

"I finally updated my installation of Calibre the other day and started playing around with the built-in plugin manager under Preferences, and I found out that the Kindle Collections Manager plugin has a secret power: it can let you add a new font to your Kindle without requiring any sort of hack or jailbreak. If you want a different font but don’t want to mess with all the other risks/delights that come with hacking your Kindle, this is a nice clean alternative. "

A Case of Copyright Infringement (A True Story)

"Last night while I was checking the prices of my books on Amazon, I noticed Falling In Love With Her Husband was already priced at $2.99. I thought that was weird since the other books I put to $2.99 were still showing at $0.99. I checked the sales rank and saw it was 51,000 and thought, “Seriously? I just priced it at $2.99 and it’s already that bad?” But then I noticed the cover was blurry. Then I scrolled down and noticed it was published on June 6, 2011. Now, I knew this wasn’t my doing."

http://selfpubauthors.wordpress.com/2011/06/20/a-case-of-copyright-infringement-a-true-story/

"It looks just like mine.  The person stole my cover, my name, the description, and now Amazon has linked that book up to my Amazon Central Page where I have changed the description to state that it’s a stolen book and in addition to seeking legal advice, I have notified Amazon of the copyright infringement."

J. A. Konrath on Kindle book prices

"But there are obvious certain benefits to the 99 cent price point. Because it is now higher on the bestseller lists, it is seen more often. And 99 cents is more of an impulse purchase."
