<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></span> </div>
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Amazon
offers two exclusive services that no other device offers, an assigned e-mail
address </span></span><a href="mailto:name@kindle.com"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">name@kindle.com</span></span></a><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> and access to a website, </span></span><a href="http://kindle.amazon.com/"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">http://kindle.amazon.com</span></span></a><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The assigned e-mail address enables
you to send documents with doc, docx, txt, html, or pdf extensions to your
kindle via an e-mail attachment. The document attachment will transfer into the
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Doc </b>folder on your Kindle’s main
screen. Documents do not contain font-size adjustment capability. But, if you insert
“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">convert”</i> in the e-mail subject line,
the document will be converted into e-book format which enables font-size
control. The e-book formatted document will transfer to the Kindle Carousel
instead the Doc folder. Sending final formatted e-books via Kindle e-mail is also
a great way to test and edit completed e-books.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Amazon also provides
the Kindle user with internet space to store highlights and notes. Simply
highlight phrases or sections of an e-book that you are reading and they will
automatically be saved to your assigned webpage. You can then retrieve your highlights
and notes by going to </span></span><a href="http://kindle.amazon.com/"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Calibri;">http://kindle.amazon.com</span></span></a><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> and signing-in using your amazon
username and password. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The assigned email and storage site
features are a must for writers and researchers. Simple compile your research
information into one document and e-mail it to your Kindle to read at your
convenience or highlight information in an e-book you are reading on the Kindle
and retrieve it from <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>your allotted
webspace. In other words, carry your Kindle with you and work anywhere,
anytime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
When <strong>a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">barcode scanner</i></strong> takes a picture of <strong>a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">QR
barcode</i></strong> from a smartphone or device such as a Kindle, the user is
linked to an email address, website, or phone number. The barcode can be
inserted in a newspaper, magazine, brochure, business card, product package,
billboard, on clothing, etc. Simply take a picture of the code with a barcode
reader and you will be directed to whatever information has been inserted in
the barcode.<o:p></o:p></div>

It is very difficult to judge which books will sell and which will not sell. So before locking yourself into a financial investment, it is a wise decision to test the market. I suggest testing the waters by formatting your manuscript in e-book format and marketing it on Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble.com before committing to a printed book.<br />
<br />
Sometimes the book's cover design or title can hold your sales back, while other times it can be the way you present your content. E-book can be edited and updated on marketing sites with no consequence to the author. So it is a great idea to evaluate your book's potential before investing in press cost..
