The Digital Text Platform (DTP) allows writers to publish their own books for the Kindle by uploading a PDF, TXT, Word or HTML version of their work. They can also set their own price. In return Amazon takes 65% of their sales.
Amazon has been opening up their Kindles for the world lately as well. Now both the Kindle 2 and Kindle DX are available in international versions. Like all Kindles they offer wireless connectivity, but through AT&T instead of Sprint.
There is one catch to all the global love. Overseas users have a $2.00 charge added to their books, presumably to cover the data service. That means the free books offered in the Kindle store aren’t free for them. Still, the increased availability is welcomed by international users, many of which complained bitterly about Amazon’s prior refusal to sell Kindles to anyone without a U.S. address and credit card.
