I won't quote
Interesting. I didn't know that Overdrive got a percentage of sales. And it might even be legal to push those books to the front. Stores showcase products that pay a fee. I doubt it is legal to segregate books though.
I have no idea first hand what this amounts to. Not important but if you would be so kind as to give a link to a library that lists your book(s) I can see the red letter. Even if not a literal red letter. I will probably look it up eventually if not, but today my brain is deader than usual.
I am aware of Smashwords only through mobileread and I don't think most people know who they are. I have always bought books from new to me authors based on looking at the back cover and inside blurb. Only time I m aware of a publisher these days even is when I see that damned penguin as a cover. How tacky is that
I am rooting for you however you approach it.
