I saw a blog post today over at iReaderReview.com, asking if authors could make a decent living by Kindle publishing. The blog post author, switch11, said that “J. A. Konrath put up a post talking about how he’s making $1,250 a month off of his book’s sales – these are unpublished books that he’s giving away for free on his website and selling for $1.85 on the Kindle Store.”
One of the factors cited in how more Kindle authors can become “rich” is the (relatively) small number of Kindles currently on the market. Although Amazon won’t release sales figures, it’s estimated there are about a half-million Kindles currently in use.
