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.

F+W Media acquires Tyrus Books
You probably recognize F+W Media (www.fwmedia.com), they offer a variety of magazines and books, many of which you have no doubt read. Popular Woodworking, Woodworking, Watercolor Artist and... oh yeah, an obscure little title called Writer's Digest. I need to look for that last one sometime. ;-)
Anyway, F+W Media has announced in a press release on their website that they are going to enter the fiction market through the acquisition of Tyrus Books (www.tyrusbooks.com). Tyrus Books likes to put out crime books that focus on crime and its repercussions.
From this acquisition will be born F+W Crime, which will launch in June 2011 with around 200 e-book titles and plans to add print titles in the Fall of 2011. F+W Crime intends to continue publishing crime titles that live up to the quality that fans of Tyrus Books have come to expect.
