 Mildly helpful, terribly formatted |
| Review Date: March 25, 2009 |
| Reviewer: C. Jack Swinden, Arlington, TX |
| 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. |
The best, by far, advice now available for publishing on Kindle!

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! |
Hit The Mark For Me!

Having already published a paperback and ebook (DEO VINDICE) and nearing completion of a second book, I wondered if KINDLE was truly a way to go. This book answered that question and then some...It is! The author will take you through the process and tell you not only HOW... but WHY... KINDLE is worth any author's look. The tips and friendly advice on the indie business is worth the purchase, not to mention the KINDLE walk-thru. I give it a thumbs up!

WINDWALKER DOES IT AGAIN
|
| Review Date: June 5, 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! |
Very helpful article for serious writers

| My son is working on a series of articles aimed at niche markets for the Kindle, and he found this article provided exactly what he needed to get started, to think through how to focus particular content for a particular market, and to inspire him to have some faith in what he could accomplish by publishing in this forum. |
