Yeh. You have a point. I'm a little envious! You know, if I had the first clue, the time or the budget to be able to set my e-book up in all the multifarious formats it has to be in without the Smashwords meatgrinder, I'd probably use my own site rather than anyone else. But I'm time and cash poor; there's all the extra marketing and search engine management, too, so for me it's worth using a middle man. I like Smashwords because on the whole, their cuts are realistic and they don't do stupid things like insist on paying me in US dollars and only then, with cheques of more than $100 at at time. Yeh, the meatgrinder's probably not great but it's better than I can do, and Mark Coker still replies, personally, to any support e-mails and that's got to be impressive.
