My Amazon article is UP AND RUNNING!!! It was easy to do except I screwed up a bit on the format. The title and section section are left justified rather than centered. I reuploaded it in HTML format and the titles and section headings were centered but no paragraph spacing. I remembered from the article I read on how to do this that we should hit the return TWICE for spacing so I did it again and put it into an HTML zip file but when I previewed it looked terrible for some reason. Therefore I went back to just uploading the original doc. file again with the left justifications. It doesn't look perfect but it is passable. Plus I learned to hit the return TWICE (or more) for the spacing.

I did my writing in Google documents which is convenient because I can download from there as an HTML zip file. Main thing is that I got it done. It is fairly easy except for the spacing problem which I am pretty sure I won't have next time. And next time my article will be about the insider secrets about how I scored my FREE laptop computer via coupons as well as some other couponing secrets. I've kept these completely secret for the past couple of years and when I reveal them I think I will feel like Superman announcing to the world that he is Clark Kent.

Anyway, the mistakes were minor as to formatting and I should be able to get the next one completely correct. The basic thing is that the information is provided to the reader in I hope an entertaining manner. I was originally going to include accounts of some of the many eccentric people I met while working the NASCAR circuit but I think the reader is more interested in the meat of the matter...namely how they can earn money at the NASCAR races which is a real goldmine if you know how to work it.

FYI.

As you can see I had some formatting problems. It definitely looks like creating the file as an HTML zip file is the way to go but next time I need to remember to DOUBLE space. I originally uploaded as a doc. file and it looked good EXCEPT the headings were not centered. Then when I saved it as an HTML zip file and uploaded the sections were centered but not paragraph spacing. Then I double spaced my file and saved as an HTML zip file and reuploaded but that made it look even worse. I guess the secret is to first double space then save to HTML zip file for upload, right? Or am I missing something.

Anyway the article with its current spacing is readable.

First I will see how these Kindle articles do...and then maybe a DUFU book later in the year.

Freepmail us the secrets.

Or is this like one of those how-to's, about how to make money placing tiny ads in newspapers, after which sending $5 the answer is "just place tiny ads in newspapers --- asking for five dollars"?

I have two Kindle Touch’s and I just picked up a Samsung Galaxy S II last week, I immediately downloaded the Amazon Android app for Kindle on it and the 100 plus books I have on the Cloud Archive is now available on the Galaxy.

Just keep in mind the page as how it would look on a smartphone as although I do carry my Kindle with me in my coat the Galaxy is in my front pocket and I can read any Kindle book on that Galaxy even in the dark as its fully lit up like a Nook.
