    It doesn't matter what Amazon website you use in your country. The KDP platform is on the .com extension ( kdp.amazon.com) and the book will appear in all marketplaces.

        There can be (and probably are) entire books on marketing your Kindle book. Check this thread for some ideas: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ve-kindle.html

        There may well be tons of useful information in that book; I'm not here to judge.

        But one note: There are a lot of grammatical errors in your book's description. I don't know how your sales are doing, but I can almost guarantee that if you clean up your description, it will increase sales.

        Also..$3.99 for 13 pages? Is that a successful price point for you?

          I don't make my kindle money from that book although i made sales... and yes, there might be grammar mistakes but the information is from my experience and some of the information is golden for someone who's just starting. - Added: (it needs an update) -

          NOTE: I'm not trying to promote or push the book!

        That is the worst thing you can do but many people do that. It might have worked in the early days of the Kindle, just like in the early days of iPhone apps as well, but there are zillions of books on there now so you really have to do a few things right:

        1. Choose a good topic that people will want to pay for. - Keyword research is a big key here.
        2. Write (and format) a great quality book
        3. Build yourself an "author brand" and market yourself and your book.

        Those tips are for serious authors only though, and the people who are serious about making good money on the Kindle. There are some people that basically do "drive bye's" and throw up a bunch of books and hope to get a little here and there...and that's fine if your goal isn't to make lots of money with it.

    Yes, you have the choice of selecting prices for all of the Amazon sites: US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Brazil, etc, etc. So you only have to upload once through KDP.
