§ Loring Emery has uploaded three of his books to the new Kindle service.  For every download to the Kindle, the writer gets a commission, which is paid out about every two months.  According to Loring, there are simple instructions available to get your book into circulation:  Go to Amazon DTP (Digital Text Platform) Support, and follow the instruc-tions. If you don't already have one, you'll need an Amazon account number--it's easy to do and there's no obli-gation to actually use that account to make purchases.
