How to Publish Your Blog for Kindle and List it in the Kindle Store
Follow these simple steps.
Here's what you'll need:
After you've gathered this information, go to the Kindle Publishing for Blogs page. When you get there, you'll be prompted to open an account, which is quick and simple.
After you've opened your account, follow the easy, one-page directions to set up your blog listing. Look in the right-hand column for additional information on image sizes, etc.
After completing the form and uploading your images, make sure you read the Terms and Conditions that you will be agreeing to. Check the box, save your information, then generate the blog preview.

You will earn 30 percent of that cost from each paid subscriber per month. It's as simple as that. Questions? Check the forum; the link is on the upper right of the page.

Great news! The price of the Kindle

too expensive, it's now priced at about half the original price when the
first-generation Kindle was introduced. So no excuses!
