    About this ebook

    If you are or want to be a Kindle Author in some ways writing, editing and proofing your book is the least of your worries. Yes, it’s that blasted cover that is the thorn in your side. Sure you can recruit third parties to do it for you, but that is going to cost you precious $$$. As I’ve remarked in my Proofreading killer guide, I’m determined to bootstrap myself up the Kindle ladder. I’ve made some minor investments in buying images for $5 and I’ve bought a few Kindle How To books, but that’s it, and I’m showing a substantial profit on my investments, looking at it from a business point of view. But until now I too have struggled with this issue of a professional looking cover. They say you don’t judge a book by its cover but unfortunately that’s exactly what happens here in the Kindle world. I’ve tried my own hand at them and they all come out looking unprofessional or even worse, awful. But now I’ve invented an amazingly easy way to create professional covers IN MINUTES and FOR NOTHING once you have familiarized yourself with a few procedures.
    Of course you can buy kindle books of 100 or 200 pages or more or you can read this 900 word article and get to it without further ado! Well I know what I would do! There is going to be many many a time you are going to thank me for this, trust me!
