Do you know how much it costs to publish a book on Kindle?
I have published several books. My first, an e-book, was outsourced. For my next, a paperback, I wrote the text and sent it to an outside service. Their estimate was about 70,000 yen. Without that money, the book could not be made. I was surprised.
Publishing a book the traditional way can reportedly cost 3 to 5 million yen. Being able to publish on Kindle for 60,000 to 70,000 yen is already a big advantage.
But this time, by using AI, I published on Kindle without outsourcing at all. The production cost was zero.
By paying the author’s printing fee, I can have copies printed starting from just one. Because I have the manuscript, I can sell through Kindle anytime. I also have a shop, so I can place the book there and sell it at a price I decide.
You can give your work shape without spending money. You can publish, too.
