I am considering offering a free download of Sunborn, as well, to promote the hardcover edition. I haven't made a final decision about that--the current project is consuming all of my time, and I also want to create an audiobook version for free download. Not enough time in the day! If I do, I may offer a reasonably priced Kindle version on Amazon, just on my own. But I need to study their contract more closely.
Many of my earlier novels are available in commercial ebook versions through e-reads. I could put Sunborn into that program, but its production line is backed up ridiculously, also.
There are many choices here, none of them obviously better than the others. |
For books where you own the ebook rights, would you consider selling them through Baen? They do a great job with formats and with pricing, and have been happy to work deals like this with other authors. And they ask for
non-exclusive ebook rights, so you can even sell it elsewhere too!
I have no business relationship with Baen; I'm just a satisfied customer. But I'd be thrilled to be able to purchase your ebooks from them because I really support their policies on both pricing and especially DRM.
