Kindle sales are ticking over - nothing spectacular yet but the money is paying for the book creation and all the blog posts I'm doing.

The d'oh! moment is paying attention to what happens when you publish a Kindle book - Amazon immediately expects you to produce a paperback version.

So, as of yesterday, that's what I'm doing.

A quick re-format of the book to a paperback page size, save the cover image at a larger file size and ask ChatGPT to write the blurb for the back cover. And use the Bing image I created for the author photo.

It takes about as long as the initial Kindle publish, maybe slightly longer as the rendering to check it looks OK takes a while.

Then it's published and anyone who prefers dead trees over electrons is happy.

And when someone clicks on the free book in the first 5 days of it being published (my choice of dates, just easier to remember to do it like that) they also have a print option.

So it's hopefully win-win!
