The Kindle version of The Fourth Rule: St. Benedict’s Guide to Life is up. It’s odd that the book description isn’t up, but maybe I missed a step on that one. I’ll have to go back and look.
It’s very strange and startling to me that this can be so easily done. I had reformatted the book for Smashwords, which took about 30 minutes to get the Word document in the shape in which they require, and didn’t change much for the Kindle edition. I clicked a few buttons and it was done – tossed out there into the deep…a published book. Okay, e-book. With a limited potential audience. But honestly…think about the alternative. Even if I could get a publisher to pick this one up or self-publish it, would it be reaching any more people? If I got a few copies on bookshelves in the midst of thousands of other titles in real bookstores, would anyone find them?
It’s a tiny part of the market at this point, but the potential is..interesting.
