Amazon’s Direct Publishing (KDP), formerly Digital Text Platform, is the easiest way to publish your e-book to the Amazon Kindle. For those still unfamiliar with e-readers, Amazon’s wireless reading device, the Kindle, allows you to download and read thousands of book titles instantly. Similarly, these same titles can also be downloaded for reading to your Mac, PC, or other device, such as the Android smartphone.
Packaging Your Word Novel to AZW Using Amazon’s DTP
When writing your novel for upload through Amazon’s DTP, you may have heard you need to use Word 2003 or earlier (.doc) and not Word 2007/2010 (.docx). This is only true if you plan to upload the document directly as a Word document through DTP.

As with the novel DRACULAS, Joe Konrath is offering the full manuscript of the novel, in return for a review posted on the reviewers blog or website as well as on Amazon when it releases October 19th.
