How do I publish a book permanently free on Amazon

+1
−0

I have tried to publish a book permanently free on Amazon but I couldn't. I have seen many books on Kindle that seems to be permanently free. How do I publish a book on Kindle and keep it free forever?

If anyone knows how to set a book to free without subscribing to Kindle Select program it is also something I would like to know how to do and maybe it is linked to this question answer.

You can have it permanently published for free at Smashwords. Amazon used to do price matching, and this used to be the way to publish your book for free at Amazon.

I am not sure if Amazon is still following this method, and no method could realistically be permanent in Amazon's ever changing business model. You will still need to check periodically.

If your goal is to stay on the "Kindle free list", you will need to check periodically. If your goal is to always have a place someone can get your book for free, Smashwords may be the better vehicle. Also Project Gutenberg has opened a new Self-Publishing Portal, which may be worth looking into.
