The per-page rate has been quite stable this year, very close to $0.0045 each month since January, 2018.

HOW TO RUN AN AMAZON GIVEAWAY FOR A KINDLE EBOOK As I mentioned in my previous post, presently it seems like you can’t run an Amazon Giveaway for a Kindle eBook…
Because the place on the bottom of the Amazon product page where the Amazon Giveaway option is supposed to be has vanished for Kindle eBooks.

KDP PRINT VS. CREATESPACE PAPERBACKS I have published dozens of paperbacks with CreateSpace over the years, and have recently published some books (under pen names) with KDP’s new print-on-demand option.
While in many respects the two services are comparable (and both are Amazon companies), there are quite a few little differences.
DIGITAL PREVIEWS AND PRINTED PROOFS There are several differences relating to printed proofs:

Blog postHOW TO MAKE AN INDEX Having made an index for several different nonfiction print books over the years, I have a set of suggestions for how to create an index.
I prefer to do this manually. When I use the search tool that comes with an online article (or an eBook), I’m often disappointed. It easily pulls up every match of the word, which isn’t always helpful. If the word is used 200 times, I must then sort out which of the 200 are most relevant.

ESSENTIAL FRACTION SKILLS Not everyone loves fractions, but fraction skills are important for a number of reasons.
It helps to be fluent with fraction skills when you take algebra, trigonometry, and calculus courses. When you solve for an unknown in algebra, the answer doesn’t always turn out to be a whole number. One reason that cross multiplication is difficult for many students is that the problems inherently involve fractions. In calculus -

When we apply Newton’s second law to the box, we set the sum of the x-components of the forces equal to max and the sum of the y-components equal to may.
One of the forces is weight, which equals mg (mass times gravitational acceleration).
The x-component of mg has a sine function, whereas the y-component of mg has a cosine function:

Blog postHOW TO FIND THE SLOPE OF A STRAIGHT LINE Slope is a measure that indicates how steep or shallow a straight line is:
A line with greater slope is steeper. A line with less slope is shallower. A horizontal line has zero slope. Slope can be positive or negative:
A line with positive slope slants upward. A line with negative slope slants downward. A line with zero slope is horizontal. The slope of a straight line equals rise over run.
The rise between two points is vertical. -

Blog postTRIGONOMETRY MEMORY TIP There is a simple way to remember the sine, cosine, and tangent of special trigonometry angles.
The special trig angles are 0º, 30º, 45º, 60º, and 90º. What makes these angles special? The 30º-60º-90º triangle is one-half of an equilateral triangle, while the 45º-45º-90º triangle is one-half of a square. In both cases, the trig functions (sine, cosine, and tangent) can be expressed as simple ratios.

Too easy, as 0 times anything equals 0 (e.g. 0 x 8 = 0, while anything times 1 equals itself (e.g. 4 x 1 = 4).
But it doesn’t stay easy. Most students struggle to remember multiplication facts where one of the numbers is 6, 7, 8, or 9.

NEW BOOK CATEGORIES How would you like to check out new book categories?
Well, they won’t spring up at Amazon frequently.
When an author writes a new genre of book, it gets classified among preexisting genres.

In the bookstore, this was a necessity. (Unless you put on a blindfold, opened the book, and then removed the blindfold.) In principle, online bookstores don’t need to show you the cover first. But they do anyway. It’s a marketing strategy. That visual appeal generates interest, helps generate spontaneous purchases, and cover design tricks ca -
