I'm just happy they stopped charging $68 for making your book available as a Kindle. As nice as Smashwords has been, just having both the paperback and the Kindle in one place is pretty awesome, I think!!

Congratulations Deer. I see you have some excellent reviews! Wish I could write fiction - goodness knows I have amassed plenty of background material over the years. Still, one can't do everything :) Must put yours on my list to buy (paperback).
I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!

Just picked up a copy. It is number 4 on my summer reading list. Thanks for the suggestion, Deer.

Sweet!! Thanks for putting me in the TBR, Doc. :)

And I have GOT to get my next book in process, but I'm doing a ton of writing for my job right now.

Who has been trying to charge you $68 to publish a Kindle version? Kindle Direct Publishing does it for free. Is it because you're not in the US?

When I first published BBW last year, they wanted $68 to make it available as a Kindle on Amazon. I was broke, so I put the e-book version on Smashwords. I don't know when KDP started doing it for free, but I just became aware of it.

That's crazy. 8O I did notice this year that when I put "Seized" up at CreateSpace, they were pushing me hard at the end of the process to publish a Kindle version, too. I bailed out of the hard sell because I already had a Kindle version, which I'd published through KDP before I reformatted the book for the paperback version.

I wonder whether the $68 wasn't for the CreateSpace design team to reformat the paperback as an e-book. But if you've already got an e-book file that Smashwords will accept, you don't have to do that -- you can just take out all the Smashwords references and put it up at KDP for free.

Anyway, the cheering still stands! :banana:

That's just what I did, except they want you to save the doc as html for some reason; but the format was already in place so I just changed the copyright page and it was good to go. :)
