You should do very well due to your huge audience!notesfromnadirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904500676081267972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739401440170479549.post-33235796685984672972011-04-09T15:37:41.445-07:002011-04-09T15:37:41.445-07:00Mr. A, congrats on publishing ebooks on Amazon for...Mr. A, congrats on publishing ebooks on Amazon for the Kindle. Please don't hesitate to do the same for other platforms such as the Barnes and Noble site for their Nook eReader, and Smashwords, which allows you to ePublish in several formats compatible with multiple eReaders.<br /><br />And I also urge you to consider carefully your pricing structure. There is a 'sweet spot' for ebook pricing, as proven by authors like J.A. Konrath (who has a great blog you should check out). It's $2.99 for a new full length novel and 99 cents for a short story.<br /><br />Remember, an ebook's worth is not determined by it's price, but by it's profit. The number of copies sold. The number of readers reached.<br /><br />The $2.99 price point still allows you to earn over $2.00 per ebook (more than you would earn for a new hardback release). It's an intangible product...there are no middlemen who need a cut of the pie like in traditional publishing, so the pricing should reflect that.<br /><br />And believe me...no Kindle/Nook reader wants to pay normal hardback or even paperback pricing for an ebook. And we do buy a ton of ebooks...if they are priced appropriately!<br /><br />Cheers to you for continuing to write. You've given me much joy over the years as a reader of your stories.William J.

Just wanted to say thank you for all the joy you've brought to me and my daughter, Emily.<br /><br />I've pubbed 26 books traditionally with half a million books in print, and over the past few months, I've taken my backlist and books that NY couldn't fit into my cozy mystery niche and put them on Kindle, Nook, and Smashwords. The results have been terrific! I'm getting readers I never thought I would for my YA, Fantasy, SF, Suspense, and more, books that NY wouldn't touch because they strayed from their expectations for me. I'm selling over a thousand books a month already, and I smile every time I see those numbers, realizing that books I loved to write are finally being read!Tim Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484735430584842915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739401440170479549.post-45537213419384368462011-04-07T20:38:05.268-07:002011-04-07T20:38:05.268-07:00Wow Mr. Anthony this is a great announcement!
