5.0 out of 5 stars The best, by far, advice now available for publishing on Kindle!, September 2, 2008
By Travis C. Ward "C. William Anderson" (Silverton, OR United States) - See all my reviews
  
For a couple days there was a terrible warp in the Kindle Cosmos and it mixed up my review of this great book with another terrific piece by Paula Berinstein Point of View in Fiction Writing.

Although both are great buys for the money, this one is the Bible for publishing on Kindle and is an absolute must buy if you have any thoughts of earning any money or fame with your writing.

Windlwalker has already had a profound effect on me. I have written a radio cinema play, Travels West With Travis C. Ward that I will very soon publish on Kindle and that I also am converting into a full-blown novel for Kindle. Without Windwalker, I'd have never had the gumption!

By the way, without the great tips by Paula Berinstein (The Writing Show podcast), Michael A. Stackpole (produces Secrets Podcast for Writers and NYT Bestselling author of at least 38 fantasy and science fiction books) and Tee Morris, (The Survival Guide To Fantasy and Dummy's Guide to Podcasting) I am convinced I would not be tackling my passion. Why not?

Folks, I am incredibly busy as a health, safety and environmental protection manager for the new international airport in Tripoli, Libya. Except for my passion to express myself in print I would have no time to devote such efforts.

Hence, if you appreciate this review, it's great if you tell me but better even if you simply buy Mr. Windwalker's great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars WINDWALKER DOES IT AGAIN, June 4, 2008
Stephen Windwalker has done it again. I bought the ebook version of this book; the print edition is available or will be soon for those of you that don't own a Kindle. He offers a comprehensive look at the ebook industry which has been around for years but has finally come of age thanks to the Amazon Kindle.

He gives sound advice for new and seasoned writers and important pointers to remember in the Internet age. He also provides great marketing tips to help writers market their own works. Also included are comments by several successful ebook writers--very helpful to read these stories and learn from their efforts.

As many Kindle owners know, the device is severely limited in displaying graphics. As a designer it didn't take me long to figure out ways to improve images to appear significantly better on the Kindle. I decided to publish my findings in an ebook. I searched Amazon for ebook guides and found several titles. Chapter 2 of this ebook was available as a separate article at the time and I bought it. I followed Windwalker's steps and in a few days my how-to book was completed! If you're a designer or know your way around Photoshop and would like to create your own ebook graphics, take a look at my ebook, Graphics on the Kindle.

This is the kind of ebook that you won't think of as a purchase but instead as a true investment in your book publishing future!

2.0 out of 5 stars Mildly helpful, terribly formatted, March 24, 2009
I found this book marginally helpful. I think it is very interesting that a book on publishing Kindle books is so riddled with typographic errors and so horribly formatted. The author insists that you review and edit your material until it is perfect. Too bad he didn't take his own advice. Think about it; a book on publishing Kindle books and it doesn't contain a Cover image nor a Table of Contents, nor is it visually appealing. The paragraphs seem to run together without indentation or extra spacing between them. This book was obviously written by an amateur when it comes to documentation style. It is perhaps worth 99 cents, but not $9.99.
