Well, it's the end of Feb and after the Draft2Digital lost access to Amazon I had to do some quick thinking. I ended up doing it myself and joined Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), and was surprised how smoothly everything went. I had the mobi file already and the rest was pain sailing.
No sooner had I pressed the button and I had new sales - go figure?

What to do next. Amazon offer their KDP authors a service called KDP Select. I did some research and it looked like the bubble on this had burst. Lot of people tried it and not much happened. But hey what have I got to lose? Sales via nook, ibook and Kobo had dried up, so the exclusivity didn't really bother me.
The deal is simple: for exclusive distribution for 90 days, the book is entered into the KDP library, people that are prime members can borrow the book and the author gets a share of a pot of money. Hopefully the author will get some good reviews. During the 90 days there are some schemes to help sell your book.
I'll let you all know how things go.
What out for two new publications from me soon.
