Can You Download Graphic Novels On Kindle

But how does Kindle Direct Publishing offer success to comic book (graphic novel) creators? I can say that it is in many ways similar to "novel authors," yet in some ways very different. My love for writing began in high school upon my induction into the messy world of fan-fiction. Reading the best of Marvel and DC comics was one thing, but being able to control the fate of my favorite superheroes by writing my own renditions, then receiving feedback from fellow fans, was invigorating. Soon after college, I decided it was time to go in for the real thing. Collaborating with a very talented artist, Jin Song Kim, our first comic book series was accepted and published. But after a bad experience with the publisher, it was time to go look for a real job.

Fast forward to 2011, and the buzz around the e-book market got too loud to ignore. Since I still owned all the copyrights to our comic book series, I gave self-publishing a try using Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing. Initially, this endeavour had its own challenges, namely EPUB format conversion problems. While many e-book authors use professional conversion services, my extensive background in graphic design and web development enabled me to handle this task myself. I didn't get my hopes up after listing my first graphic novel in the Kindle store as I went on with my usual grind in life. For three months after it was listed up online, I did not even check my sales reports. Basically, I just forgot about it. Then one day, I was contacted by KDP support telling me that I needed to update my bank account information in order to receive some $2,000+ in royalties. What? I couldn't get back home fast enough to verify it online. Sure enough, the numbers were all there. I felt light headed, almost euphoric. This was it, I thought. The e-book industry had levelled the playing field for us against the looming mountains of broken dreams surrounding major publishers.

Nearly six years after our first project, I called Jin and pleaded to meet for lunch. I said there was no way I could explain the good news to him over the phone. Full control over creativity, instant delivery of digital files with no overhead printing costs, and a no-nonsense royalty payment system. It didn't take long to convince him for another collaboration. Just over a year later, we published our newest 200-page graphic novel online, PANDORA End of Days.

Although our comic book dream was effectively rekindled, largely thanks to Amazon's KDP, I still hesitated to opt in for the KDP Select program. Determined to give all e-book markets a good try. However, the multitude of authors blogging about the program was hard to ignore. I decided that the safest time to test KDP's 90-day exclusive agreement would be this summer, just enough time before the usual holiday winter rush. Lo and behold, in the first month of June alone, downloads increased significantly, rising even more with the launch of Kindle Unlimited. Our book also skyrocketed in sales rank. Should we have been in KDP Select all this time? Maybe.

If you want to read your favorite graphic novels, the Kindle can be a great option. Its resolution is good enough to be able to view the bullets with very good quality. And the process to feed the comics into the reader is also very simple. Want to know more? Well, keep reading and we'll tell you.

In addition, Unlimited also offers readers scores of other comic titles, including 10,000 manga, graphic novels, and bandes dessines (French-Belgian comics) from companies including IDW, Image, Dark Horse, Oni Press, and many others.
