This book is a great to-the-point book about publishing your ebook as a Kindle book or in print media.Mr. Edwards highlights the main issues for anyone considering writing or publishing a book.  He omits nothing in the main decision-making process.Mr. Edwards also weighs in with opinions about specialized Kindle programs, including the numbers to support his choice.  Since this is an important topic when you're deciding how your book will be distributed, digitally, I liked seeing his thoughts.  (I'm undecided about this, myself, and will decide on a title-by-title basis.)This book's overview takes you from the initial idea ("Gee, maybe I could write a book...") all the way through the finished product ("Whoa. Look at that income!") quickly and efficiently.If you're looking for a how-to tutorial on the mechanics of designing, assembling, and uploading your book, this isn't it.However, if you're not sure where to begin, or you're overwhelmed by the options, this book distills the process so you can start -- and finish -- your book, even if you flunked English.As always, Mr. Edwards delivers his information with wit and honesty.  If you've thought about publishing a book but you don't know what's involved or where to begin, start with this book.I've been an independent publisher (print and Kindle) for about two years, and I've been published in traditional media for over 20 years.  However, I still found some interesting points in this book, and I'll re-read it as I'm evaluating my Kindle options for future books.
