Although I have published several books on the Kindle platform, I picked up a copy of Steve's book because (IMHO) you can never learn enough about your chosen field. I wasn't disappointed.Steve covers the background of Kindle publishing, including his take on why to focus on non-fiction titles. As a non-fiction author, he didn't have to sell me on that point! The book goes on to help authors really focus in on ultra-specific niches, specifically those that have the potential for ongoing and consistent sales. He shares his take on how to discover those markets, using the same skill set as you'll see in the best Internet marketers.In particular, I found his method for predicting book sales (per day) based on ranking particularly helpful. In comparing his stats against my own, I can tell you that he's spot on. And, for those writers who have run out of ideas, the book covers great places to find new ideas as well as tools to estimate sales.If you're an author who wants to build their Kindle empire, I highly recommend this book.
