Amazon's Digital Text Platform



It seems as though Amazon's Digital Text Platform flew beneath the radar with the release of the Kindle. I have been checking this out for the last few days and it looks like very interesting.

The basic premise is that any author can submit their content (as long as they hold the digital rights) to the Digital Text Platform, and Amazon will convert it to Kindle's format and make it available for sale through the Kindle Store, with a royalty of 35% of suggested retail price.

This effectively serves as a digital self-publishing platform. From the looks of the user forums, it seems like there are a good amount of people asking questions.
