Amazon.Com : Kindle

Our eBook is off to a nice start.  Initial reviews are very friendly.  Some good advice and we are working on a concept to version two already.  That's at least six months off!  Today we uploaded the Amazon.Com Kindle version.  We have not personally procured the Kindle but I saw it on a flight recently and found it to be a great potential source for additional distribution options for the eBook, The Berry Great Fitness Guide.

This little device (10 ounces or so) was easy to read in any lighting.  The person next to me let me thumb through it and he had Newspapers (Wall Street Journal) and 10 books from James Patterson to How To Books.  I showed him my eBook in PDF format on the laptop and he said that the Kindle might be a good source as a platform for distribution.

So, with the assistance of a great HTML Coder (Joshua Tallent) for the Kindle at Kindle Formatting I was able to take the WORD Doc format to the proper Kindle format.  Joshua was incredibly flexible and delivered in record time!  I think I was slowing him down.  His pricing is reasonable and he quotes you up front.  I got exactly what I was hoping for and now have uploaded to the Amazon.Com site.  From what I understand the upload and setup can take from 12 to 72 hours so some time this week we should see the Kindle version of The Berry Great Fitness Guid online!

Thanks Joshua!

I have your eBook in Color from your site. Thought it was very well laid out and on topic. Good flow. Wish my kindle was in color. It was like all other downloads from Kindle a b&w newspaper look and feel. It reads the same of course but your online version in PDF is far better....unless of course you are addicted to Kindle forever like me...
