Indeed a neat piece of technology, though currently I can't afford one. Also, I read a lot of art books, and thus I need color reproductions - not sure whether Kindle can do that yet? Or even include any pictures?
But I think we'll see plenty more e-paper in the future.
Kindle is Amazon's version of the Apple tablet. I am a huge fan of the Kindle; and, can say YES! indeed it does beautiful color reproductions.
@bunny26 bought the paper white version; but, the Kindle HD Fire runs about $80. and usually offers discounts that brings it to ~$50.
Hope this helps!
Peace.
Well, that is news to me - some weeks ago I published a children's story, and had to redo the Kindle version because it could not even deal with unusual fonts, let alone illustrations. Maybe I was just doing something wrong. :-)
I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties with uploading@brianvds...
What a 'coincidence'. I, too penned a children's book using KDP; and, it turned out beautifully. Now, I have many generous YouTube tutorials which helped me along the way. But, a novice, as I am, was truly blessed to put together a very fun and energetic counting book for children.
One of these days, If God says the same, I will set up a Steemit account to promote it. Instantly, the Smart Tokens came to mind. It will be interesting to see how marketing products on Steemit, as on Etsy, et al, will help strengthen the platform.
Btw, please send the Amazon link for the KDP version. I'd love to take a look at it!
Peace.
Well, my currently in production book has some black and white illustrations, so I'll see how the KDP version comes out when I upload it (hopefully in a week or two). I'm having a great deal of trouble even with the print version; the CreateSpace software keeps on messing up the formatting!
The currently available book is here:

Or paperback version:

I used a somewhat unusual font that, instead of letters, makes little animal silhouettes, and while they printed perfectly nicely, in the Kindle version they just made ugly smears, so I had to remove them.
Thanks for the interest. :-)
Yes, formatting requires lots of patience, perseverance, and plenty of coffee.
I will give your book a look and offer feedback next week. I love the cover, and the topic reminds me of a book I read recently, so I know your book will keep my attention.
Thanks for sharing!
Peace.
Thanks for the kind feedback. Do note, mind you, that my book is a children's book that might not quite hold an adult's attention. :-)
Considering I wrote one; and happen to still enjoy reading Dr. Seuss, you might be surprised ;+)!
It's a new week. It's on my to-do list. From what I've read in the opening, it looks well formulated.
Peace.
Wow..it's damn cheap there.. I bought it in India ..it's bit pricy here..!!
Hmmm...I would think Amazon's prices are universal worldwide. Interesting. Thanks for sharing! Peace.
@brianvds..there are some higher end versions of Kindle which I believe support coloured images..I really wish you able to afford one soon.. Keep reading though ..that's more important..😊
Well, that's what the library is for; I always have my nose in a book, except when I'm writing some myself. :-)
Cool.. ;)
