Thanks for that. When I first self published, almost ten years ago I found Smashwords helpful, but I am an ex academic so I guess I appreciate detail at times more than many. Things have obviously moved on, I had never heard of Draft2Digital, so I’ll try it out. In the end the fact that Amazon’s exclusive deal gives a much bigger royalty gets the better of all the other channels, I think. I never got more than 30% of my sales from outside Amazon, so the bigger royalty by going exclusive made up for any loss of non Amazon sales. I guess they can do maths at Amazon. I now work with a small publishing company Black Pear Press ( www.blackpear.net ). That’s more fun than doing everything myself.
