okay, this is interesting. amazon's kindle now allows individuals to publish their work as kindle books. for free.

authors set their own price and receive 35% of the kindle book's sales. think of the potential for networking with this thing. and the proof of a story's appeal to readers, assuming a significant number of copies sold. i'd imagine potential agents and publishers would eat that up.
will have to think on this--the idea of publishing a collection of short stories is near-irresistible, and i'll be reading up on how a kindle work's attractiveness would be affected by having been electronically published. but hey, if i'm ultimately aiming for publishing novels, getting my name out there now for short stories might be a solid approach. wild stuff.
these are not the old days, for sure.
