On Amazon books

Just yesterday I put in an order for some Amazon books. Two of them are about making money by publishing a book that is sold on Amazon. Lots of people don't know that print on demand is now a reality. I can remember when it was just seen as one more technological threat by writers already getting shafted by regular New York City publishers. Well, it's very difficult to get your book published by them. It's a long process to submit and be rejected, over and over again, and you really need an agent to have a chance. And then you could wait two or more years before you're published, and then you get only an advance unless you really sell a lot of books to get a royalty, and then they pay those only every 6 months.
