I <a href="http://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2013/04/i-need-your-advice-please.html" rel="nofollow">asked my readers</a>, prior to publication, which format they would prefer. The overwhelming majority of responses (90%+ over both comments and e-mails) were for the Kindle platform.<br /><br />2. If I publish exclusively with Amazon and Kindle, I get almost twice the royalty rate that I would by splitting the book between competing sellers and e-publishing formats. It's hard to justify the loss of income that would accompany multiple formats.<br /><br />However, it's very easy to convert a Kindle file into an ePub using (free) software such as <a href="http://calibre-ebook.com/" rel="nofollow">Calibre</a>. I've already had several readers do that, e-mailing me for hints about the process if necessary, and they're today reading an Amazon file on their Nook or other non-Amazon hardware with no trouble. I deliberately set up my book without DRM to permit such conversions.<br /><br />I hope this helps.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595089829300831372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-24236396398034755292013-05-25T05:08:27.339-05:002013-05-25T05:08:27.339-05:00Get it into .EPUB format, for heaven's sake!
