People in our office put together a children's book to sell at our shows. They went through all the copyright and legal hoops. Its a real professionally printed book (vanity press, but real anyway.).

I think we should offer it for sale in a computerized format on our website, or through Amazon.

However, I have no idea where to go to get it stored as a Kindle-readable book.

Have any of you had experience with Amazon, Kindle or E-books in general as a writer or reader?

Do you have it in any kind of electronic format now, i.e. pdf or html? There are a number of freeware/shareware programs out there that can convert pdf/html/txt files to a Kindle readable file (.mobi). Some of them don't format very well, probably because they are free/shareware, but those are the only such programs I have experience with. I don't remember the names of any of them offhand, but you can easily find them doing a google search for ".pdf to .mobi converter", or some such.
