It bothers me that I have to ask for info to find out what the deal is. It's like buying windows: When you go to the Home Expo and ask how much a window is and they say, "Our salesman will come to your home and give you a quote," it's always best to say "No thanks!" (It will be a cold day in hell before I let another @#%*! window salesman in my home! It had to practically beat the last one out with a 2x4.)
But okay, that aside, right now B&N makes up about 2% of my sales, through PubIt!. Amazon makes up the other 98%. Smashwords (which includes Kobo, Sony, Diesel, and Apple) hasn't sold a book in months, according to my sales report. Is it really worthwhile to add yet another outlet that may never sell enough copies to warrant issuing a check?

That's.... I don't understand. Are you saying that BoB doesn't offer the flat rate that, say, Amazon / B&N offers to publishers? That you have to solicit them to find out how much you'd get from sales posting your book on their site?
That's very weird to me. Is there a single rate for everyone that is just SUPER SECRET, or are there different rates for different authors??
I would find this germane as a customer because I'm not sure how I feel about that.
