I heard it usually only takes weeks for Amazon to price match if you go free in Apple (not so much Kobo). Is this not the case?

In regards to why not use Smashwords? Will Smashwords publish my epub without tampering with it, or putting it through its "meat grinder"? I don't know. What's better about Smashwords (than D2D)? I've heard not the greatest things about its style guide, the quality of the books it puts out. And, regarding the wanting to price match with Amazon at "free," will Smashwords facilitate that process any faster than D2D? (I've heard D2D is as fast as they get.)

And lastly, since my plan is indeed based on timing, do you have any suggestions for me?

thanks
