Hi, Everyone.

After putting my short story on Smashwords, I thought maybe I should also release it for free on Kindle (with the understanding that I could always unpublish it if I wanted to do something else with it down the line). But when I went into Amazon's DTP site, there wasn't an option for releasing an ebook for free. The least I could see was 99 cents, but that doesn't make sense to me, because I've seen a lot of free stuff on Amazon. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
