This book is loaded with information about the way Amazon publishing used to be when there were only thousands of books available for the Kindle as compared to the way it is today with millions of authors and books on the market. It explains why the free days of marketing your book was valuable in the early days of Amazon Kindles, but is no longer a viable marketing tool today.People who get things free are often highly critical because they got something that isn't what they really like. They only got it because it was free. Someone who loves science fiction but gets a free romance novel will give it one star because they simply don't like romance novels. Every negative rating I have ever had on any of my books on Amazon was from one of these freeloaders. These freeloaders will seldom write anything positive; in fact, most don't even finish the book before slamming it for something unrelated to your writing. Pricing your book at the minimum Amazon price of 99 cents eliminates these freeloaders and targets your book to those budget minded readers who actually find interest in the material you are writing, even though you will have less readers than when the book is free. I'd rather have fewer, but qualified readers.
