Category and genre are interchangeable. The age and grade sections are usually for authors who write for children. Amazon allows you to choose the age range as well as the grade range for your book. Choose whether you want your book available for pre-order or to release it now.
Then hit save and continue. Now this brings you to the Kindle e-book content page. In the digital rights management section, you can choose yes or no.
Again hover over this section to learn more about the topic, but I always choose no. In this section, you also want to upload your manuscript. Clicking Upload eBook manuscript, will take you to your computer. Find your manuscript file on your computer and then press Choose.
Your manuscript will upload. The next step is to upload your Kindle e-book cover. You have two choices here. You can either select a cover from your computer that was designed by a graphic designer, which I highly recommend or you can use the cover creator and create your own book cover.
Again… click to grab my PDF to learn why this is such an important step! The Kindle e-book preview launches a preview of your book. This allows you to preview what your book looks like on a Kindle device or on the Kindle app. Press save. And this brings you to your last and final page, the Kindle e-book pricing page. For the most part, I usually enroll my book in KDP select. For the territories section, select the territory for which you hold distribution rights.
If you need additional information on what this means, again, hover over the blue link to learn more. The royalty and pricing section is another very important section. So make sure to do research to determine the pricing for your book or use the KDP Pricing Support Beta , which allows you to see what books like yours have sold for in the past. I encourage you to take a few minutes to review this section.
This is a great option and encourages people to buy both the Kindle and paperback versions of your book. You'll need to look up yours, as you're not told when you set up your Kindle, but it's little hassle. You'll need to head over to the Amazon website and sign in first.
Just note, the following steps are slightly different in different regions' versions of Amazon - we'll talk you through the US and UK guide, but if you're in another country, you might have to hunt around for options a little more. In the US, to the top-right of the main Amazon screen should be an option saying 'Account and Lists'.
Click this, then select 'Your devices and content', which was in the bottom-left for us. Now click 'Manage Devices'. In the UK, the 'Account and Lists' option should still be clicked to the top-right of the Amazon home page. From here, scroll past the 'Your Account' settings to the 'Digital content and devices' block to the left. In here, click 'Content and devices', and you'll be in the same place as our US counterparts.
Now, you should see a list of the books you have assigned to your Kindle account - but that's not what we're looking for right now. Above this list, in a toolbar should be some options - you'll currently be on 'Content', which should be followed by 'Devices', 'Preferences' and 'Privacy Settings'.
Click on 'Devices', and in the next menu, select the option for the Kindle you want the document on. You'll be brought to a Device Summary page which tells you your Kindle email as well as the type of device it is, and a few other things. What you'll need here is your Kindle email address - save this somewhere you'll be able to easily find it. We'd recommend saving it as a contact in your email app of choice, so you can email it at ease.
Not just anyone can email your Kindle and have their PDFs accessible on the device - though you have your Kindle's email address, you now need to approve your personal one, so that when the Kindle receives your PDF, it knows to download this. Make sure the email you approve is the one you're planning to send documents to your Kindle from otherwise it won't work.
To approve your email address follow the steps as for finding your Kindle email address but instead of selecting 'Devices' in the top bar, click 'Preferences'. Scroll down this list until you find 'Personal Document Settings', and select this option so it expands into more options.
This list will show people who can email stuff to your Kindle, and obviously you want to be on this VIP list. Below the emails is an option to 'Add a new approved e-mail address', which you should, of course, select. Enter your email address and click 'Add address' to get yourself approved. If you have multiple email addresses that you could send PDFs to your Kindle from, you should add them all now.
Now the hard work is out the way, simply head over to your email client of choice, attach the file to an email, and send the email to your Kindle email address.
