Where can I find the steps for selling a pdf ebook on amazon.com?

Hello rgoyette~

Amazon offers two ways to sell eBooks. In the first, they will provide
a listing for the eBook, and if an order is made, the author or
publisher ships the book themselves. Amazon charges a 15% commission
(plus a $0.99 fee)for this service. (For more information on this,
check out ?Sell at
Amazon Marketplace,?
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/partners/direct/marketing-home.html/ref=adv_ld_mp/002-4421624-0183207
)

In another Amazon program, an author or publisher makes an application
to Amazon, offering information on books for Amazon?s consideration.
If the application is approved, a listing is included, and copies are
consigned to Amazon?s warehouse. When someone buys a title, Amazon
processes the order. The author or publisher then receives 45% of the
suggested retail price. (For more information on this, see ?Amazon.com
Advantage: Instructions & Rules,?
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/partners/direct/advantage-rules-terms.html/002-4421624-0183207
)

Amazon?s contract for this is called a ?membership agreement,? and
you?ll find it here:

Kriswrite - I think I spoke too soon. The info you gave does not seem
to support the ebook format. Maybe I'm wrong. Would you please confirm
that the urls provide will help me sell and "ebook" in "pdf" format?
Thanks if you can help.

Hello again rgoyette~

It is my understanding that you can either sell an e-Book (.pdf
format) on disc through the first option I mentioned, or apply to
Amazon to list your downloadable .pdf file in the second option.
However, I do notice that they don't specifically mention e-Books, so
I have an email into them, requesting more info. I'll post their
answer as soon as I receive it :)

Rgoyette~

I have heard back from Amazon, and my original answer still stands.
Please send a blank email to: edoc-inquiry@amazon.com and Amazon will
send more complete information.

(I have read this information, but am refraining from posting it here,
since it is part of private correspondence.)

Best regards,
Kriswrite

Thanks for providing exactly what I needed!

I emailed Amazon, and they responded:

Greetings from Amazon.com.

Thank you for your interest in selling electronic documents on our
site. If you send a blank e-mail to edoc-inquiry@amazon.com, we will
send you additional information.

Thanks Kriswrite - I appreciate your followup and assistance!

No problem, Rob. I never mind double checking info! I got the same
response greenparrotbar did, and have sent that blank email. I will
let you know what I get back!

Kriswrite

Kriswrite,
I got all the info I needed by sending the same email to Amazon.
Thanks again for your help. No need to research further. Great
service!
