Thanks!

My point was that LDS publishers should at the very least provide their book in Kindle format and that not doing so is short-sighted.

I don’t know what made me want to read your book. It hit me just right that day, I guess.

I’m sorry my book, “Altared Plans,” isn’t available in Kindle format (though my first book, “Heaven Scent,” was available in Kindle–go figure). I’m curious, what made you want to read my book?

Interesting discussion.

MANY protestant religions don’t consider us Christians, though, remember.

the page that link will take you to is where MOST of the kindle books with a mormon topic are published. As you can see, it’s not even worth browsing there to try and find new LDS books.

EDIT: This was from the DTP (what publisher’s see), and is the entire christianity section. In the kindle store, it’s set up a bit differently, and not all of these section will show up under the protestant section.)

Now, even though there are hundreds of books that fall into the mormon category, there is no category to place them into. Most publishers have put them into the General category, and called it good enough. Amazon created these categories, and they didn’t create one for mormonism. I’ve looked through all of the other sections and they aren’t hiding it somewhere weird, it just doesn’t exist.

I know this put ME off when I was working on publishing mormon-themed books through Amazon’s kindle publishing program.

I hope this clarified what I meant

Barring that, if something doesn’t come up “Mormon,” it’ll probably be under “Latter-day Saints” or “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints” or “LDS.” And that’s a publisher’s call when they list the books, not Amazon’s. Amazon doesn’t have anything to do with it.

People usually think of Amazon as a bookseller. It is, but that’s not its value. It’s value is in its database, its catalog, its search function, and its SOFTWARE.

btw … i’m writing this on my kindle
