Christmas is approaching, and among the most popular gifts , there is always a book: If you love to write like myself – maybe you have even attended a grammar school – you might have the ” bullet “to write one. Why not do it in a digital form ? EBooks have surpassed a long time (it was 2011, if I remember correctly) sales of paper in the United States … has not happened yet in Italy, but the independent publication does not involve the same issues of the paper and eReaders, such as the tablet , are already quite popular .
Suppose you have a manuscript and would like to publish it: the speech would be very long and, basically, I would try to discourage you . The circulation of those who have been successful – by excluding bestseller written by famous authors or characters – wanders about five hundred books sold, for a gain of € 0.20 per copy. Are you still determined to proceed? I would recommend Kindle Direct Publishing with Amazon, because among the options is the one that guarantees higher earnings and less bureaucracy. It does not mean that it is so simple .
The first problem is that Amazon invoice in Ireland and – obtained the necessary fees – you should convert invoices so that they are accepted by the Italian. The advantage, however, lies in the IVA to the reader who is set at 3% compared to 22% applied in our country: do not worry about it, while the Italian tax charged to the author, you have to declare them personally. Kindle Direct Publishing has been simplified and gives single solution , which offers 70% of royalties more KDP Select for promotion on Amazon.
KDP Select is a program that allows you to be sponsored on the site Amazon, rotating initially was required to accept 35% of the royalty , instead of the 70%, but the documentation does not mention Italian more this percentage – which is still present on the UK charts. Another advantage of Direct Publishing is the access to the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library where members to Amazon Prime can rent the text for a given period. In the first ninety days I can still publish the book elsewhere.
format, if you have not prepared an ePUB, Kindle is the default that might not be compatible with eReader or other applications. You can import documents written in Word: the layout is simple and virtually automatic, but I prefer to treat it in the first person . Consider that KF8 is readable by all operating systems installed on the tablet and with Kindle for PC on the Windows desktop or Mac OS X, however, may be problematic on Linux – that prefers ePUB and now fully supports the PDF.
Amazon is not the only resource available for an independent publication come back on, because I think of writing a book … and in this path I could find alternatives more viable. I’m sure you will not become rich , but I believe in the value of the format for the so-called long – form journalism and I also several other ideas in mind. Who can have the greatest chance of success on Amazon? Authors who write books fantasy or otherwise dedicated to “niches” of fans in a specific genre.
