Make a Killing on Kindle

On the same lens, I have also reviewed How I Sold 1 Milliion Ebooks by John Locke.  He describes how he successfully sells novels on Kindle.  

I have recently learned that he paid people to review his books before publication, which he does not mention in How I Sold 1 Milliion Ebooks.  Still, I think it's worth reading.
