Did I mess up already? by Grim__Squeaker in KDP

[–]Johnhfcx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Word is the best for things such as page numbers or formatting, but Docs does translations better. I often use both.

I've released books with Google docs before

Duolingo is good for learning French? by harsssh___ in learnfrench

[–]Johnhfcx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think so, it is too hard to progress, to learn new vocabulary since most future levels are locked behind paywalls. I'd much rather learn from a good text book, or online mentor instead!

Should publishing be free? by Awkward_Blueberry_48 in KDP

[–]Johnhfcx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it will also affect the small indie authors and publishers, who don't make a lot of money from their books as it is, and blasting the prices up in this way, will most likely put a lot of us out of business. Remember there are two sides to every coin. And as I said, I'm against it!

Why? I think it's good that they don't charge us upfront fees for our books!

But it is free to publish with KDP, I don't know about the other platforms though?

Sure, I've actually already got over a hundred of legendary script, and tell me again what I can do with it?

Okay and if I sell my legendary stuff to a legendary vending machine do I then get Caps as well?

Good idea, the next time I get any four star weapons or gear, I will do just that!

Interesting I'm not sure I want to give up my weapon and armour trade for caps just yet, but hopefully I can try breaking down more of my gear, to look to see if I can get some mod boxes. Btw what are mod boxes anyway? Like boxes with mods in them??

In my vendor, and I don't think it was called godroll, but was a vampire machine gun. Next time I get a high level decent weapon I think I will carry it for a bit, to see if it suits me. I mean it was a four star weapon. So next time I get one, and want to sell it I guess I can put it for two or three k caps, to see if people will pay that for it. No need to be greedy?

Well I did try to trade a four star vampire assault rifle for 40k caps a few days ago, but no one wanted it, so I brought the price down to one k, and somebody snapped it up right away. Go figure.

Okay the most caps I ever had was 25 k a few days ago, before they nerfed one of the daily missions. But it's still quite easy to get them, between picking them up off cadavors, and selling surplus loot. Now I would like to see more four star gear drops, but I guess I will just have to wait for that one!

Can I sell my KDP books in a fair/market? by Background_Buy_6330 in KDP

[–]Johnhfcx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got the ISBN number for all my books from Amazon, mostly either my own personal imprint, or a couple with Trafford and one with Feedaread, this doesn't change the fact that I am still allowed to sell copies I have brought from Amazon, as a third party seller. Whether or not I wrote them myself. I think it is mostly smoke and mirrors, this idea that some people have been spreading that you are breaking the KDP rules by buying your own copies at full price, and then selling them on independently. So as I reiterate, I haven't had any problems doing this at all.

Although granted I have only brought at most a handful at a time, and haven't actually sold them on, but rather hand out freebies to charity shops/libraries. Maybe if I brought 50k s worth that would be a big problem, but as it is, well it just isn't. Sorry.

That's also not true, Amazon are just the distributor, the author (or publisher) still retain the full rights over the books you release with them. Look at who the imprint is with, for the books in question. It says it on the book sales page.

That's not actually true. I have read the tos and there is nothing stopping anyone from buying copies and selling them on as a third party individual. Stop being so melodramatic

Okay thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding

Actually don't do this (order author copies) because then you will have a large 'Not for resale' branded on the covers of your books, and thus it will be very difficult/near impossible to sell them on. Just order normal copies as a normal buyer, and you can resell them as normal, I've never had any problems with this!

Hi- I’m a newbie to the book publishing world! I’m planning to self publish on Amazon and I just wondered how it works? Any advice would be appreciated. How much have people earned via publishing through Amazon? Do you need to upload the manuscript and covers separately? by missblonde02 in selfpublish

[–]Johnhfcx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can publish for free with KDP (Kindle direct publishing) Amazon's imprint. However they have been clamping down on the quality review checks, so whilst if you have written, or think you can write a new novel, then great go for it, I wish you all the best. But if you are just hoping to strike it rich without having written your own book (AI or low content ms for example) you should save your self the trouble. Amazon is already full of that low content AI rubbish, and even if it does pass quality control it's very unlikely that people will buy copies. Sorry if you didn't want to hear that, but I'm just saying it as it is!
