Now on Kindle

I was surfing through the Amazon.com website 3-4 days ago and I landed on their page that explained how one puts a book into their Kindle format.
In the past, once had to pay somebody a fairly substantial fee ($69-$250) to convert your book into a Kindle, but according to what I read the other day, if your book is already available in a compatible format (e.g. Word.doc, pdf, etc.), all you have to do is fill out a brief form, then upload your book file and all that is free. Within 24-hours, your book is out there for sale.
A few months ago, I published 6 of my one-person plays on Amazon's CreateSpace and, in fact, formatted them myself. As I reported this past Friday, they are selling regularly.
So, over the weekend, I uploaded those very same Word.doc files to Kindle, and now the plays are available in that format for $5.00 each. [The paperback copies sell for $7.50.]
I don't expect to sell a lot of them on Kindle, but if you just want to read the play and don't need a physical copy, there you are.
Just go to the Kindle Store on the Amazon site and do a search for either the play title (see bold below) or my name, and you will find them.
The titles:
CLARA BOW
Errol FLYNN
Clark GABLE
Carole LOMBARD
Spencer TRACY
ORSON WELLES
You have a creative day.
