Publishing on Kindle

I've recently uploaded a children's story onto Kindle ebooks. The original story was by someone else, but I did the editing, some rewriting and the cover. I feel the story is strong, but the cover has some faults. If I do this again, I will choose wider fonts for the cover title.
It's exciting to see the book up and for sale within 12 hours of posting it. I plan to watch sales and monitor comments. From all the chatter I hear on author loops, this is the way to go. I love the traditional hard backs, but let's face it, the money's not there. I don't know if any money will be here either, but we'll see.
In this venue, I can see why they say the cover sells. So many books! If your cover doesn't stand out, readers scrolling through won't click on it for a second look.
I'll keep you posted and I welcome comments or questions.
