OK so it was free, but I still wasted some time actually reading this thing. Which is tricky because the formatting is rubbish, Deiss clearly does exactly what he recommends - save your Word file as HTML and then upload it - resulting in no Table of Contents on the Kindle Menu, poorly formatted bullets and inadvertent indents throughout.The author appears to only have a simplistic understanding of Kindle publishing - after several chapters of wow the ebook industry has really exploded, and lots of erotic fiction is being sold, he give you an unbelievably basic chapter on how to publish on KDP - literally the form you fill in to upload your book! One of the most self-explanatory processes I've come across online. Nothing about genre, length, how to write. The promotion stuff was particularly disappointing, as Diess is clearly of a marketing bent - I thought he would be able to come up with something more exciting than Facebook and wow Amazon ranks well in Google's search results (no kidding!!)And apparetnly the aspiring author should really be looking to use their book as a way to spin off an lucartive speaking or coaching career, what's that got to do with Kindle (or indeed book) publishing?
