We've already decided, too, haven't we, that Amazon Digital Services is also an example of a website that we have to do that with?
Does anyone think that it would be helpful to name any other sites with non-fiction (notice what thread that you're reading this in) ebooks that have only self-pubs? |
CreateSpace is another big self-pub outfit. Seems like I see more of that company listed as the "publisher" at Amazon than I do Smashwords. I don't know--maybe knew, and now forgotten--if CreateSpace sells only non-fiction (the subject of this thread), only fiction, or some of both.
In fact, I don't think that I've ever seen Smashwords shown as the "publisher." I wonder if the
authors are always shown as the" publisher." Maybe Smashword depends upon channels other than Amazon to distribute the authors' works. As you can tell, I am not very familiar with them. I remember now that they have a sale once or twice every year.
I know that at least some of Smashword's books are fiction, not non-fiction (the subject of this thread).
