If that changes, I may offer my books through other outlets, but right now that doesn't seem likely in the short to medium term.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595089829300831372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-59776376161496388292019-08-10T01:40:43.201-05:002019-08-10T01:40:43.201-05:00Congratulations on 20 reviews!

Amazon makes exclusives very lucrative, and at this time other channels are negligible for volume.Ray - SoCalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293232996007277071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-20412965775416872662019-08-09T23:09:58.907-05:002019-08-09T23:09:58.907-05:00Mr Peter, is there another way to order your books...Mr Peter, is there another way to order your books then Amazon?

I have re-submitted the same dang file and had it accepted after a rejection. They are using, by the way, the same print set-up crew as Createspace. The only thing changed is the name as far as I can tell.

Dorothy knows the story.<br />But during a two year period we produced eight full length books in both print and e-book format.<br />The print on demand company we used was Ingram Spark.<br />Their on-line customer interface is a bit of a dog's breakfast, but they did create a very nice print product.<br />Digest format in box lots ran us around $6 per book, mass market would have been cheaper, but the author bought the trad pub garbage that digest was what the readers really wanted.<br />And we found out the hard way that Ingram would be delighted to handle the upload of your e-book to all the major outlets, they just take 30% of the cover and since payment flows through them you wait 90 days for your money. Since all but a handful of sales were Kindle through Amazon we stopped using Ingram for e-book distribution after the first book and just did those ourselves to just Amazon and B&N.Uncle Larhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04008207593205949098noreply@blogger.com
