Patrick,
This is not a recommendation, but it strikes me that you're not aware of the
choices open to you currently:
You can make your book available for almost all electronic formats via the
likes of smashwords.com. It's free.
You can have your book available in print via the likes of lulu.com (they
also handle the distribution). It's free.
There is no need to restrict yourself to Kindle for financial or
distribution reasons.
