If you are thinking about uploading a book to Kindle, I hope this article helps you through the process of getting your Kindle downloaded and ready for publication. Because Kindle is still new, this is absolutely the best time to get your book on the market.
No matter what genre of book you want to upload to the site, you still have to follow the same procedures as everyone else. Don’t worry, once you’ve learned the ends and outs, uploading to Kindle will be easy.
Before you even think about getting ready to start the process, make sure your book is ready. This means, edit, edit, edit. Better yet, have someone else read your stuff. Get constructive criticism to make your work more improved. Remember, the end goal is to sell your work, so you want it without errors, or as much as possible. If you aren’t one to do the editing yourself, don’t sweat it. Check online for the best deals on people who will do your edits for you. It will save you time, and let you tackle promotions.
Remember, your EBook will not be edited once you upload to the site. Make sure it is exactly the way you want it, before you upload and publish.

Formatting Your Kindle Book
This is extremely important and sometimes takes time. You can upload your book as many times as you want, before publishing. To do this, I upload my book, then to a quick preview. This helps me to see what formatting changes need to be made. Then I go back to the Word Document, make the changes needed. Resave the file. Then re upload your changes.

Not only the free ones but also the $.99 Kindle books; the reason is because I wanted to see how it was done. Formatting, table of contents, Copyright page, Acknowledgements; the key is to check out how they format their book.
