on The Book Designer:

There’s nothing like actually going through the publishing process on Amazon Kindle, again, with a new book, to refresh yourself on our rapidly changing self-pub world. I had last uploaded a book and cover file two years ago.

This past month I had a new book to upload. So, what has changed in 2019? My new book is the sixth in my self-pub career since 2006.

I uploaded the new book/ebook Northern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips. I was a little rusty. I had much to learn and relearn. And the publishing systems have changed their patterns and requirements. Most obviously, as you know, CreateSpace is now Kindle Direct Publishing. I even made a few mistakes, which you might avoid with some tips.
