Hi Graeme, I've been taking your advice. So my second book is now listed on Amazon. It works. I have several more waiting for some editing and indexes.I even wrote one about my art. John Newell (Canada)Here is the introduction to the book John is referring to: WHY AMAZON.COM?Amazon.com is quite different from ALL other publishers.When Amazon.com started only ebooks were published.They are electronic books with NO actual printed material.Book publishing came much later when the Amzon.com eBook system was adapted. As a result Amazon.com has become the biggest publisher in world.Amazon has different pathways for novels and text/reference books. There are major differences to traditional publishing. Methods used with other publishers do NOT work with Amazon.com. A publisher publishes AND sells actual books made of paper.Publishers earn money by selling books. Once printed a book cannot be changed so all editing is done BEFORE publication.How is Amazon.com book publishing different?The system Amazon.com uses for eBooks is similar as it is still ELECTRONIC. Amazon.com has a huge store of electronic books.Amazon.com publishes physical books too but they are printed versions of eBooks.Although Amazon.com publishes a wide variety of books it sells titles NOT books. So methods used by other publishers are NOT used by Amazon.com. There are advantages for authors as a result if you know of and use the opportunities provided.You keep creative control and own copyright.Printing on demand means your book will never be out of stock.Your book can be in languages Amazon.com supports.Reach readers in the US, Europe, and Japa
