Upcycling Public Domain: 27 ways to enhance, differentiate and repurpose public domain books for Kindle publishing (eBook Writing Wizard Series)

The second title in Morris Bergâ€™s eBook Writing Wizard Series, filling the gaps in eBook publishing knowhow that other publications do not reach.

This book, on how to source and publish public domain titles for Amazon Kindle completely in accordance with Amazon's policies, is based on research I did when I first considered writing and publishing for Kindle. I recently published my first, original, Kindle title, Secrets of Successful eBook Titles. Now, having updated my strategies for publishing public domain, I present here a formula for taking almost any out-of-print book, adding value and submitting it to Amazon or to other publishing platforms as an enhanced work, or what Amazon calls a "differentiated" work.

It is well known that Amazon now requires a public domain book to satisfy one of three criteria to make it acceptable: translation, annotations or illustrations.

This book gives you, not just three, but twenty-seven possible ways of making a public domain book unique, plus a strategy that is calculated to maximise the consumer appeal of your finished, enhanced volume.

Using these twenty-seven methods in different combinations, you have THOUSANDS of possible strategies for enhancing the public domain books that you would like to publish!

This book also tells you how to search for those elusive out-of-print titles that nobody else is publishing, so you can build a unique catalogue of digitised antiquarian books.

You need to read this book if:
â€¢You would like to build a public domain publishing business that is Kindle-friendly.
â€¢You have had out-of-print publications rejected by Amazon but want to try again.
â€¢You have access to old public domain material, for example a collection of antiquarian books, that you could consider adapting for Kindle publication.
â€¢You would like full details of all 27 techniques for creating and enhancing content using text, illustrations and/or diagrams.

Tips on scanning and preparing books for digital formatting are also provided, including suggestions for purchasing special scanning equipment.

Using the plan presented in this book, you can create a digital antiquarian or "reprint" publishing business that has unlimited potential as every year more and more works are going out of copyright. If you are fluent in other major languages, you can do the same for non-English titles too. The strategies taught in this book will work for any language in which ebooks are available for Amazon.

There are many other books that concentrate on formatting, marketing, pricing, design and actually getting your books uploaded to Kindle. This one explains how a digital antiquarian or "reprint" publishing business can work and that is its main purpose. It presumes you have some basic understanding of Kindle publishing already, though that is easy to pick up from other books. If you are an existing or would-be Kindle publisher/author and want another string to your bow - here it is.

The book has been formatted for Kindle with a clickable Table of Contents.

Approx. 15,000 words. Publisher's estimated page length 45 pages (Amazon page calculation may differ).
