I was critical of Amazon’s new reader — the Kindle — when it launched last week. I called it a $399 paperweight. However, now that Amazon has opened up its Digital Text Platform, opening the floodgates for anyone to sell text content through Kindle, I have had a change of heart. I even published a tongue-in-cheek Why the Kindle Will Fail piece, exclusively sold through Amazon’s Kindle store to show how easy it is to turn the Kindle into a cottage industry creator. Sure, it’s still early. I sold three digital copies in a day and that was enough to catapult it to #307 on the best-seller list of more than 90,000 titles. Give it time, though. In the meantime, read up on Why Kindle Will Change the World to find out how you can get published.
