When Amazon unveiled the new Kindle Fire, a tablet style computer, they dramatically lowered the price of the Kindle readers. Readers can now purchase a basic Kindle reader for as low as $79 (US). What does this mean for self-publishers?
It means that more people are going to be reading e-books - and especially Amazon.com e-books. It is easy and inexpensive for a self-publisher to make their book into an e-book and post it on Amazon.com. There is no printing or formatting cost. Amazon has clear instructions on how to turn your document into an e-book. It just doesn't get easier than that.
