As you are publishing your book on Amazon Direct Publishing KDP you have a choice, if you want to put your book in Kindle Select.
Amazon has a subscription service, for a price you can subscribe and then you are able to read as many books you want in a month, as long as the book is in Kindle Select.
So as you publish your book on Amazon, you can choose to put your book into Kindle Select or not to. If you put your book into Kindle Select and someone downloads your book, you are paid by the page. If the reader reads two pages, you arepaid for two pages. If the reader reads all 400 pages, then you are paid for 400 pages. The reader does not pay for the book, because you enrolled the book into Kindle Select. They did not buy the book.
If your book is in Kindle Select, you can put your book up for FREE up to 5 days every 3 months. Why would you want to give your book away????
For PROMOTION. Some writers will give the first book in the series free in hope that they will buy the other books in the series.
You do not have to put your book in Kindle Select. You need to go to KDP and read more about it.
I have over 70 E-Books on Amazon. I have all my books in Kindle Select. It costs nothing.
I wrote a 2 Zombie Series in 2011. I have over 35 short Zombie Stories. So If a reader has the subscription and wants to read my series, why not.
Just this last week I put Welcome To Zombie Zoo for Free. I had 118 downloads of that book, I did not promote or advertise that it was free. I sold the book in 5 different countries. The Netherlands, Mexice, UK, Canada, USA. I like selling books in other countries.
It is something to think about as your are publishing your book. If you do not select Kindle Select when you publish your book, you can always enroll the book anytime in the future . I want everyone to read my books, no matter what country they live in. If I can make it free for a few days. I don't see why not. I just want people to read my books and this is a way to introduce yourself to other countries and to people who can not afford to buy a book.
