Some other interesting work with Amazon Shorts:
In A Man and His Luggage, Stuart Woods departs from his tried-and-true mystery genre for a humorous essay on how to find the perfect travel companion.
In his Short Bubble After Bubble in the Ongoing Bubble Boom, Harry S. Dent updates his 2004 economics bestselling hardcover The Next Great Bubble Boom. Six months later, his publisher issued an updated edition of the hardcover.
Amazon recommends a length of 2,000 to 10,000 words for Shorts, and requires they be exclusive to Amazon for the first six months. Publishers keep 60 percent of the revenue, while Amazon covers the cost of payment collection and customer service.
There's no copy protection for Amazon Shorts; the text or PDFs can be printed, copied, and forwarded via e-mail. When viewed as an HTML document, the text can be copied and pasted into a word processor.
