Kindle Publishing Open to US only?
Posted: Mar 9, 2010 2:19 AM
 

Hi, first of all pardon me if someone else has already asked this before. I have just tried to create an account for Kindle publishing and realized only when I wanted to add my blog that I cannot choose the country where I am residing. The default is United States. May I know if this is open to people from other countries too or only for US.

Dear Publisher,

At present, only publishers with US billing address and bank account are able to setup account on 'Kindle Publishing'.

Thank you!

1) What is the timeline for this to open to non-us people?
2) I would prefer if I know as one of the first steps that I can't add a blog because I'm not from the US. Now I lost a lot of time and only when I add my account data noticed it was US only

That's how I see it. It's quite annoying to register for blog publishing and learn afterwards that this ist not possible for non-US publishers. But I think that Amazon is an US company focused on their home market. There are several other functions around Kindle that are not available to non-US residents. But Apple will change that I hope...

Does amazon have any update as to when Canadian and other non US folks will be able to publish on Kindle?

I filled out my blog info and only realized upon filling out banking info that I could go no further.

Personally I think they should make non-US bloggers payable via Amazon Gift Certificates like they do with Amazon Associates. I would be more than happy with that.
