Kindle ePub is a digital publishing platform. The Amazon Kindle is an e-book reader developed by an Amazon.com subsidiary, which uses wireless connectivity to enable users to shop for, download, browse, and read e-books, newspapers, magazines, blogs, and other digital media.[1] The Kindle hardware devices use an E Ink electronic paper display that shows up to 16 shades of gray, minimizes power use and simulates reading on paper.

CNN poll showed that 15% of American household own a Kindle.

It is like the Gutenberg Press has been re-invented. Only this time it is digital. There is a publishing revolution going on because each Kindle holds 14,000 books. Or Titles.. Amazon needs titles right now. They are competing against the Barnes and Nobles “Nook”, the ipad, the iphone readers and more.

You can talk can’t you? Use a Sony Digital Recorder and talk your book. Interview an expert and record it. Then transcribe it to text. Upload as a special report.
