Amazon is a special snowflake

tuuliaTurns out Amazon Kindle only accepts Smashwords e-books that have already made $2000 or more. Since that's never going to happen, I went through Amazon's Kindle Direct set-up to get Me and Susannah up. Result!
It was a pretty easy and simple process after having done much the same thing with Smashwords once already. One definite bonus is that they allow an electronically signed version of the tax form required for non-U.S. earners. Should I make any money on Smashwords, I've set it to be withheld until I get around to printing, signing and scanning the form for them. It seems like a lot of work for nothing, but I like to do this right.
I take guilty, nerdy pleasure from formatting, bureaucracy, fact-checking and fine-tuning. If it wasn't for the promoting and human interaction, I might want to be an editor.
