If you’ve got a lot to learn, here’s a site that has a lot to teach.
I’m a big fan of Dave Chessan's Kindlepreneur.com. I use Publisher Rocket to find the best keywords and categories for my and our clients’ books.
Publisher Rocket is a great product—it’s worth every penny it costs and more. If you’re interested in it, click here to purchase using my affiliate link.
But if you’re not ready for it, you can still learn a lot about publishing on Amazon just browsing around Kindlepreneur.com. Here’s a sample of some great articles for fledgling self-publishers:

But Dave Chesson has put together an excellent analysis of the various book writing software options that’s worth reviewing.
You’ll find a lot more on Kindlepreneur.com and I think you’ll enjoy Dave Chesson’s style. When you’re ready to make an investment in his products, check out my blog about Publisher Rocket.
