Authors: Kindleboards can highlight your book as a "KB Featured Book".
Your book is displayed near the top right corner of the page, on a random 50% basis. (Up to to two different books are featured each day.) The ad displays throughout the site - not just on the home page, but on *every* forum page. On a typical day, your featured book is displayed about 30,000 times.
The graphic contains links for people to view/buy your book on Amazon. We will generally link to the Kindle edition of the book, but if you prefer, we can link to another edition such as a hardcover or paperback version.
In addition, the graphic displays an "open it!" link, which when clicked brings up your book's sample for reading. That link is displayed if the featured book has been enabled by Amazon for use with Kindle-For-The-Web.
When our website visitors hover their cursor over your book's cover, a pop-up window appears with additional information from Amazon's Product Detail page for your book.
Also, if you have a book thread in the Book Bazaar, we will sticky that thread for 24 hours. This keeps your book thread on the top of the first page of the Book Bazaar board during that period.
The cost for your book to be a KB Featured Book is $35. You can sign up using the button at the bottom of any forum page. If you sign up for multiple days, the cost per day goes down.
We have quite a backlog for this and our next available dates are a few months out. (The timeframe for next available dates is shown in the sign-up form.) Books are featured on a first come, first served basis.
The KB Featured Book graphic looks like this:

(Note: through 2012, this ad is displayed as "KB Book of the Day." Starting on January 1, 2013, the ad will be labeled as "KB Featured Book.")

FAQ:Who can sign up for this? Any author who is a member in good standing of KindleBoards.
How can I start? Just scroll down to the bottom of any forum page, where you'll see the KB Featured Book button. Enter your title, author name, and ASIN, and click the button which will take you to a PayPal page for payment.
What's an ASIN? That's the 10-character identifier that Amazon uses to identify your book. You can see it in the "Product Details" area of your Amazon page. Example: the ASIN for the Kindle edition of "Half Broke Horses" is B002PMVQCW.
Can I arrange to have the promotion occur on a specific day? We will accommodate this on a first come, first serve basis. If we don't have a slot available on your requested day, we'll make it as close to that day as possible.
What books can be promoted? The book must be available on Amazon.com. We reserve the right to say "no, thank you" to books that, in our judgment, have covers or book titles that may offend.
Can I sign up for multiple days? Yes, you can sign up for a single day, or for multiple days, using the KB Featured Book sign-up form at the bottom of any KindleBoards forum page.
How does KindleBoards traffic compare to other Kindle forums / book-promotion sites? We don't track other sites, but according to web analytics sites
Alexa.org and
Compete.com, KindleBoards is the web's most-visited independent Kindle website.
When will my book start to appear at the top of KindleBoards pages? After you sign up, you'll receive an email with the day (or days) that your book will be featured. The book will begin appearing at midnight Pacific Time on that day.
I haven't received my e-mail yet! The e-mails are sent to your PayPal e-mail address, so make sure you're checking that e-mail inbox. Most confirmation e-mails are sent within 24 hours of your order. If you haven't received a confirmation e-mail after a couple of days, you can e-mail us at
admin@kindleboards.com.
When will my book thread in the Book Bazaar be stickied? Generally, we will sticky your thread late in the evening (Pacific time) on the day before your featured day. It will remain up for at least 24 hours. For a short time it may overlap as a sticky thread with the prior Book of the Day or the next Book of the Day.
I want to do this but I don't have a PayPal account. That's okay - you can also pay using credit card (Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, Discover) or bank account. You'll see a "Don't have a PayPal account?" option after you click the Buy Now button.
My book isn't published yet. Can I still reserve a day for it to be featured? Yes, go ahead and sign up for your day, and just let us know that the title and ASIN will be coming later. Then you can email us with the title and ASIN once it's available.
I'm not interested in this. Will you still love me? Yes, we still love you.
