Kindle Short Reads

Kindle Short Reads are conveniently divided into books of different sizes and then, within each size into genres.

As before, go to amazon.com and click on Best Sellers and then Kindle Store. But this time, select Kindle Short Reads.

These are split into:

• 15 minutes (1-11 pages)
• 30 minutes (12-21 pages)
• 45 minutes (22-32 pages)
• 1 hour (33-43 pages)
• 90 minutes (44-64 pages)
• 2 hours + (65-100 pages)

The most popular size here is 1 hour, so let's have look in 1 hour romance.

Short Reads 1 Hour Romance

You can't expect short stories to have the same sort of overall ranking as novels, so we'll have to compromise on the requirement for our #1 pick to be ranked at 2,500 or better.

The main advantage of modeling a short story is that our ghostwriter will be much cheaper and we will get the result faster. It can give us a good start to get up and running in this business and for our author pen name to start developing a reputation.

At the time of writing, the #1 best seller in Short Reads 1 Hour Romance was Love Lessons by Jane Fox. This book is part of a series called the Zaftig Dating Agency.

If we select this book and scroll down to its details, we can see that it's overall rating in the Kindle Store is 1,791. This is remarkably good and tells us that there's money in this category. And if we look further, we see that there are 94 books in the series. That's serious money.

But is there a lot of competition? Let's take a look at #100.

At the time of writing, book #100 was Wounded Hero by Hope Ford. It's #57,252 in the Kindle Store. This indicates low competition and we should be able to do well.
