Amazon India!

[John Carroll]

Amazon KDP is now in India. That was not the next location I expected. The sales report is combined with U.S. sales. Writers have the option to be paid in rupees too!

"Hello, We are excited to announce Kindle Direct Publishing in India!

This is a massively exciting prospect for all authors/publishers. Tapping into the wealth (as in prospective readers) of India is a huge step forward for all interested in e-books.
