Publishing And Branding Tip: Buy A Kindle

Plan to be a self-published author?

Then you ought to buy yourself a Kindle to get a taste of what the user experience is like for readers.

That’s the advice Roger Parker gave in yesterday’s post at Personal Branding Blog.

Here are a few of the reasons you just can’t “read about” a Kindle, but need to gain first-hand experience reading with a Kindle:

  • Searching and buying. When you live with a Kindle, and use your Kindle to search for books in your area of expertise, you’ll gain a better perspective about how your prospective readers will be searching for your book. You’ll also gain time to explore the competition in the various Kindle categories.
