Here's the book that is helping to unleash a 21st-century indie movement of writers and readers, by Stephen Windwalker, the number-one selling author in the Amazon Kindle bookstore - Beyond the Literary-Industrial Complex: How Authors and Publishers Are Using the Amazon Kindle and Other New Technologies to Unleash an Indie Movement of Readers and Writers. Elegantly weaving polemic and primer, the #1 bestselling author in the Amazon Kindle store locates the nexus of culture and commerce and illuminates the failure of major publishers to serve either readers or authors, issues a compelling call for change, and guides authors and independent publishers through the steps that will allow them to succeed, and to connect with discerning readers, in the fast-changing publishing world made possible by new technologies such as the Amazon Kindle and CreateSpace.
I've been writing for years, and now.... 
There has been plenty of focus on what the Kindle means to readers. Read this article and you will get a very clear idea of the amazing opportunities that the Kindle provides for writers, whether they are Stephen King or guys like Windwalker or even me. Windwalker unlocks a remarkable vault of tips and strategies not only for publishing on the Kindle, but also for making sure that Kindle readers can find your work!
Absolutely Essential for the Independent Kindle Author 
As a Kindle author, with three novels available and others in progress, I found Stephen Windwalker's work invaluable. This, and the companion work on marketing to Kindle readership, have provided great support and keen insight on preparing my work to better leverage colophon and copyright issues. The step-by-step support on the publishing process answered many questions that were not present on the Digital Text Platform site. If you plan to publish a Kindle book, or already have one, check out these easy to follow tips (20 of them). I'm delighted that there are more Windwalker tips in progress. It's great to have his works at my back.
VERY HELPFUL TO THOSE NEW TO EBOOK PUBLISHING! 
I bought this ebook knowing full well this information was available through other sources online. So why'd I buy the ebook? Who has time to search for instructions when you can just buy a straight-forward how-to guide?
The author writes in plain English, lays the steps out one by one, and in proper sequence.
After buying this ebook, the next day I published one my own, arguably a good succession or add-on to this ebook: Graphics on the Kindle. You can find it by searching for B0018LILMO. Get it here: Graphics on the Kindle
Back to the ebook: If you're new to ebook publishing and want a well-written instructional guide that will reside on your Kindle, this is a good buy. Just follow the instructions and you're all set!
