Amazon Kindle is a fantastic digital ebook reading device but it does more than read books. It is also a digital mobile device that you could use to browse web pages and connect with friends and colleagues on the go. Enough about the Amazon Kindle but here is the real money maker: A lot of young writers are making money writing and publishing books for kindle.

Success stories
Now checkout Amanda Hocking, story has it that her digital books bring in a monthly sales of over 100,000 and she keeps 70# of such earnings while Amazon takes the remaining 30%. One interesting thing about selling your books on Kindle is that it could help you reduce the traditional cost of publishing your book while at the same time reaching a virtually unsaturated market of kindle users. Now she sells her book at around $2.99 and even if she gets a $1 for each book, that is a whooping $70,000 or more a month.

Now how do they do it?

Already have a mini book published on Amazon kindle and you can check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/make-money-online-Nigeria-ebook/dp/B004Q9TICC

One problem though is that the target audience also needs to have to access to a kindle to download it so I guess I'll also have to convert it to a book using createspace.com
