I have a list of links on my website to places where folks can buy my books, and I would prefer for them to be affiliate links so that I get that extra few percent at least some of the time. Mind you, I'm only listing the bigger vendors—Apple, Amazon, Kobo, Google, and B&N—but it just seems odd to leave out what as of only a year ago was the third largest eBook vendor in the U.S.
But without the ability to create affiliate links, I'm not going to link to their site. Their royalty rates are so much lower than everybody else's without that extra 6% affiliate commission that I'd rather have people think that I'm not in B&N's store, and let them wonder why.
Incidentally, I wrote to the Nook Press folks yesterday asking if they could check on things, and I never heard back from them, either. So now I'm starting to wonder if the whole company laid off their entire workforce a year ago, and I'm the first person to notice.
