Sorry, as a novel reader, I didn't visit Amazon directly or get information about 2014 book sales. However, according to some news reports and public data, Amazon's total sales in 2014 were about 80 billion US dollars, of which book sales accounted for a small portion, estimated to be about 15-20%.
It's not that complicated. You need to have a clear idea and structure for your story. Then, focus on making the language engaging and easy to understand. Amazon has some guidelines you should follow too.
To upload an e-book to sell on Amazon, you need to follow these steps:
1 Create an Amazon Bookstore account on Amazon.
2 After creating an account, choose your publication category and choose a category template.
3 Enter your publication information in the category template, including name, description, price, etc.
4 Add a cover picture and a brief description to the publication.
5 Choose your e-book format and upload the e-book file.
6 Check if your publication meets Amazon's requirements and submit an application.
7 Wait for Amazon to review your publication. After the review is approved, your e-book can be sold on Amazon.
Please note that you need to use the e-book creation tools provided by Amazon to create your e-book and ensure that the content of your e-book is legal, complete, and error-free. In addition, you will need to comply with Amazon's rules and policies to ensure that your publication can be sold legally on Amazon.
Well, first you need to have a clear topic and a well-structured plan for your non-fiction e-book. Make sure your writing is engaging and provides valuable information. For selling, build a strong online presence and promote it on relevant platforms.
It's not illegal to sell books. However, if one wanted to include inappropriate content such as violence, eroticism, hatred, etc. in their work, they had to abide by local laws and regulations. In addition, if the work obtained copyright, it also had to comply with the relevant provisions of the copyright law.
If you want to include appropriate content in your work and don't want to violate laws and regulations, you can seek permission from the copyright owner (usually the author) or publish and sell the work yourself. However, there was a certain risk in doing so because if the license was denied, they could face copyright disputes and legal proceedings.
You need to have a unique and engaging plot. Make sure your characters are relatable and have depth. Also, pay attention to the pacing and build up tension at the right moments.
To write stories that sell, focus on creating a story that evokes emotions in the readers. It could be excitement, suspense, or even a deep sense of connection. Also, pay attention to the pacing. Not too slow or too fast. And build up the tension gradually throughout the story.
I'm sorry, I don't know the exact number of Amazon's catalog database because this number may change over time and technology. But from what I know, Amazon is a very powerful online bookstore with a huge inventory of books and a wide readership. The database it provided included all kinds of books, including novels, comics, magazines, history, philosophy, literature, and so on. If you want to know more about the Amazon Bibliography database, you should visit Amazon's official website or consult relevant book editors or experts.
