Kindle Changing How People Read, Publish Books - wcco.com

WCCO.com article on how the Kindle opens up publishing opportunities for authors:
The Kindle has also opened up a new world for authors.

Former Pioneer Press reporter Judy Borger struggled to find a publisher for her mystery novel "Where's Billie," but then a friend suggested putting it on Kindle.

"It took about a minute and a half to upload the entire book, cost me nothing," said Borger.

By self-publishing electronically, Borger doesn't have to share the percentage she gets from sales and she has control over the product. The book's track record with Kindle helped Borger get a contract with a regional publisher.
