It is done. I have published an ebook, The Black Butterfly Woman, through Amazon.com's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). It was fairly easy to do even for me and I highly recommend KDP. The website for uploading your work is very friendly. You imput your title, your name, your front matter, your book cover and upload your document. You chose your price point between $2.99 and $9.99 and receive a 70 percent royalty. I chose $4.99. For each book I sell I will get about $3.50. The revolution is here. Why exactly would I want to sell my book to a "real" publisher for a 5 percent royalty? Let's say the real book sells for $20 just to keep the math simple. For each book my author's share is $1. If I need an agent to get this deal my profit goes down to 85 cents. Somebody pinch me. Somebody tell me what I'm not seeing. Another great thing is that, when I downloaded a copy of The Black Butterfly Woman, much to my amazement I still found a few typos and paragraphing problems. I was able to make the corrections and upload the book again and now it is a perfect copy. I did not hire a copy editor and I challenge anyone to find a mistake in it. I did not have a company of house editors slashing my story and I challenge you to find a better written or more interesting story. Somebody smart, please come burst my balloon. What is the dark side, what is the awful truth about Kindle Direct Publishing that I am too wildly happy to see?
