Re: Publishing A Book On Amazon Kindle Direct

Ah thanks Jem It's a rubbish book ... but it's my rubbish and at least now I can say I did it!

There's another 4 books stashed in the back of the wardrobe. ... I shall be busy.

Re: Publishing A Book On Amazon Kindle Direct

Thanks Mags and Maursey .... I doubt I'll sell any but the achievement, for me, was in just getting it up there.

How are you getting on with your book Maursey? I remember you saying you were looking at other publishers.
I looked at a few, especially Nook Books ... but they too required this US Tax thing.

There doesn't seem to be any way around it.
If you don't mind filling in your Tax number the US Tax form on Amazon is otherwise quite straightforward.
Basically it just confirms your name, address, UK Citizenship and asks if you have ever earned any income in the US or carried on any trade or profession there.
At the end you are given a W-8 US Tax Exemption form to print off and keep.
It was easy enough for me to manage.

Re: Publishing A Book On Amazon Kindle Direct

Well get busy with it .... it's great fun and the days are gone when you had to sort of accept that it would never be published.

Kindle has changed all that and made it so much more fun to try.
