If anyone is using Scrivener and Smashwords, I posted an export filter to format the former for the latter: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?p=643143
If you use it, let me know how it works. Thanks! |

I would suggest that you go to the Kindle Forum and ask there. The Writer's Corner is mostly about writing books. The folks who hag out at the Kindle forum are very helpful and will walk you thorugh the process. And welcome to Mobile Read!

This is a very helpful discussion. Most writers just want to write, but these days they have to know about marketing, different e-reader formats etc. Confusing for a lot of people who are tech-minded. Easy to understand guides and more info on different companies who distribute and sell your ebooks is very helpful to all writers.

Do any of the portals mentioned here force you to go exclusive with them? I gather Amazon requires charging for books epublished with them, could someone publish there but still publish elsewhere without charging?

I don't think any of them do. Smashwords, Feedbooks and Amazon definitely don't. You can sell for a price on Amazon and give away free elsewhere - I know a few authors doing exactly that.

There's a very useful resource I mentioned in another (non-sticky) thread, so I'm re-posting it here so I don't lose it again.
http://ebookarchitects.com/conversions/retailers.php This list the various ebook retailers and wholesalers, and what their requirements are. It seems to be accurate and up-to-date. |

My ebooks have been on sale through Lightning Source for a while now. (ePub, DRM-free, 25% discount). Here's a list of stores which seem to have picked them up from the Ingram Digital feed:
