Do you use Kindle Direct Publishing?

If so, have you found it easy to use and a reliable source of income for your published materials?

I would like to know this too if you get a serious answer

@SW-User I've been watching all the tutorials and it looks pretty decent. You either set up for direct deposit or receive a check when your Kindle sales have accrued to a minimum of 100 dollars. There are some sales tax issues when purchases of your materials are made in a few foreign countries. It looks decent, but you never know til you jump in I guess.

@DanielChristensen I am going to check it out...all us writer's dream is to be published, so, it is worth a try.
This may be a stupid question, but do you have to have a Kindle device or can you use your PC?

@SW-User Publishing is such a wonderful experience. My previous publications have been with periodicals, Xlibris self publishing and Poetry.com, who gave me an honored top position in a couple of their printed anthologies.

I don't think you have to personally have a Kindle, that is how people buy and read your work. All you have to have is an Amazon account and a payment method chosen to get started.

@DanielChristensen Okay, thanks.
I have entered contest and have published on Allpoetry from time to time but nothing that pays and I never won any contests.

@SW-User You're welcome. :) I'm looking at lots of ways to make money writing. It's rather overwhelming really. Check this out.
