An October 16th article in the New York Times details how Amazon Signs Up Authors, Writing Publishers Out of Deal, and indeed, if you pay a visit to Amazon, you can find their self-publishing information that allows authors to self-publish their books in the Amazon system using CreateSpace to do manufacturing-on-demand publishing of books.
Amazon's publishing platform allows authors to take advantage of Kindle Books through Kindle Direct Publishing to sell eBooks. Even to use Amazon's Search Inside! feature to allow potential buyers to search inside of your book so they can decide if it is the book they are looking for before they buy.
Check out the Self-Publish page at Amazon to find out more about how you can self-publish your books through Amazon. Or to get an idea about the costs associated with self-publishing your book through CreateSpace see their Understanding Royalties page, or the CreateSpace product page for books.

Author appearances
I was looking at the newspaper a little while ago and found my way to the Community Datebook section where I found they list several authors who had done book signings today.
Shannon Cartwright, author of Alaska's Train Story
Beverly Stevens, author of This Dog Team Lives in the House
John Smelcer, author of The Trap
Michael Engelhard, author of Wild Moments: Adventures with Animals of the North
While it is now too late to make it to any of these book signings, I will keep a look out next week for any author appearances that might be coming up for next weekend. If you know about any pending author appearances, or are an author that is planning an appearance, I would love to hear from you so I can announce it.
