I’ve got some more amazing news. I’ve just added Agile Discovery & Delivery: A Survival Guide for New Software Engineers & Tech Entrepreneurs<\/a><\/em> to Kindle Unlimited<\/a>. That means if you are a Kindle Unlimited subscriber, you can now read my book FOR FREE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also just bought a new Kindle and with it came a three-month free subscription to Kindle Unlimited. I love it so far! My husband does too. He’s now able to read a series of books he’d been looking for that our library didn’t carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For authors, the way we get our books included in Kindle Unlimited is by enrolling in KDP Select<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Kindle Unlimited \/ KDP Select?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kindle Unlimited is a subscription service Amazon offers for eBook readers. If you subscribe, which currently costs $11.99\/month in the US, you can read as many books in the Kindle Unlimited library<\/a> as you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authors can choose to include their eBooks in a program called KDP Select<\/a> when they publish their eBook on Amazon, or any time thereafter. If they include the book, then any Kindle Unlimited subscriber can read it for free! Authors get paid by the page when readers read their books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KDP Select Requirements for Authors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I published my book last July, I didn’t enroll it in KDP Select because its main requirement is that your eBook must be exclusively on Amazon to join KDP Select. I wasn’t sure at the time whether I’d want to publish it elsewhere. Authors join KDP Select for 90 days at a time and their books auto-enroll unless they opt-out. It’s only during those 90 days that you can’t sell your eBook elsewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently published the print versions of my book via Ingram Spark<\/a> and I chose not to include the eBook. I mainly wanted to use Ingram Spark as a conduit to get into bookstores and libraries. Most eBooks are sold for the Kindle, so that’s where my eBook is published. Once I settled on not publishing my eBook through any other platforms, I decided to enroll it in KDP Select.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
