Kindle Owns Your Book

May 22, 2011 6:16PM PDT

WARNING: Don't publish on Kindle! Amazon has started a new policy of Giving Books away for free. If you Publish on Kindle you could lose control of you own work. I was very please yesterday when I found that I had sold over eight thousand books this month ( was expecting on a few dozen) only to find that Amazon was using my work as a free give away! They claimed that my book was on their server and that my royalties would be 'zero'. Amazon owns your contents.

Did you put your work up for free?

If not, then you have 2 legs to stand on. I envy such a position as I would gather my documents and visit my local solicitor and let the fun begin.
