How to publish on the Amazon Kindle and new e-readers?

The Skiff eReader

Amazon announced that eBooks outsold conventional books on Christmas Day.

At recent consumer electronics shows, two dozen companies introduced new e-readers – including the SKIFF eReader with an 11.5 inch screen that bends like a sheet of paper and is twice the size of the Sony eReader or Kindle.

Submitting your book to a particular eReader can be a complicated process – daunting for experienced, let alone aspiring authors. Proprietary submission formats and requirements vary. What works for one will not typically work for the other. Precise technical skills are often required for content and cover design.

According to a recent report,  digitization has exposed critical skill gaps in the publishing industry. Random House CEO. and Chairman Dame Gail Rebuck—a Skillset board member—stated: “It is important that the industry understands and moves with the market so the skills gap this report has identified does not continue to grow.”

How do authors move ahead when the industry itself is falling behind?

We’ve tested numerous platforms and will be testing more as they become available. Contact us for author coaching services, digital publishing education and production at Gantz & Starr and/or Rights University.
