One of my goals before leaving on our RTW trip was to get a pictorial book out about the bike ride and I am happy to say with only 2 days before we leave it’s finished!
It’s free for Kindle Prime users!

Coast to Coast on the TransAmerica Bicycle Trail
My Thoughts on the Process
- It was nice that it is free and easy to publish even without a ISBN number and the ISBN system is severely outdated
- The formatting that you are forced to use is very boring and not great for pictures, but works across all Kindle devices
- You don’t really get to set your own pricing and royalty rate due to “delivery costs” based on the book file size
- I would do it again and plan to figure out how to publish to the other eBooks sites
- You can get started on Kindle here – http://kdp.amazon.com
