Our Life | Наше життя June | Червень 2021 22 UNWLA Members of Branch 96 in Detroit have par - ticipated in the publication of two English-language paperback books at Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) at no cost. The first book was published in 2019, with the in - volvement of then Branch 96 President Marta Kwit - kowsky, who computer-formatted and typed the book.

Marta’s son Adrian Kwitkowsky scanned the photo - graphs, ensured the book met Amazon KDP require - ments, and submitted the book to Amazon KDP for publication. Nachtigall is available for purchase on Amazon Books under the author Kalba, Myroslaw. The second book, Quality Online Learning and Testing by Lada Prokop, was published by Dr. Pavlo Prokop at Amazon KDP in 2021. Submitted in Adobe PDF format in the evening, it was on sale at Amazon Books the next morning. Amazon KDP publishes paperback books at no initial cost to the publisher/author.

The books are printed on-demand. From each book sold, Amazon KDP deducts its printing cost and a royalty fee; it mails the remaining profit to the publisher/author’s account on a quarterly ba - sis.
