Review: Useful info but don't stop here

I'm just beginning to take the Kindle opportunity seriously, so I checked this book out.Although JA Konrath's name is listed first, this is Scott Nicholson's book (Konrath and the others all contributed an article).I respect Nicholson enormously as a writer, and applaud him for achieving the time freedom he desires. However, as a former hippie myself, I think you should take his view on money with a big grain of salt. He's the type satisfied with making just enough of it to get by, and mentions the figure of $3,000 per month. He also refers to Eisler turning down a $500,000 offer from a traditional publisher by saying that's enough money to last a sensible family forever.My family is not sensible, and demands a lot more, so I suggest reading Konrath and Eisler's Be the Monkey as Well, to get a broader horizon. Neither you nor I may ever catch up to those guys, but I think we should try.With that caveat, this book is recommended for the info you can use to help your Kindle career.
