Kindle Direct Publishing is Amazon.com's platform that helps e-book creators to self-publish their work in formats acceptable for their greatest product, Kindle. It's easy to create your digital book using this platform, just signup and go to the step by step guide from starting a project to its cover and at the listed price you want to sell your e-book. 

You can read their manual on how to go about the guided steps in regards to the format from which your content will be uploaded to the system and also some requirements in regards to the cover image quality.

After uploading and setting your rights and price of your e-book the KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) team will evaluate your project and email you once it is approved. From there you can check your product on the Amazon.com website and use the link to market your work to your friends and prospective e-book buyer. With that you can share in the profits of any sale of the ebook base on the agreed royalty program you choose.

I did my first e-book which was a compilation of my best blog post. Below is the image and link to my very first digital product.
