We're pleased to share the great news that Smashwords and Draft2Digital now distribute to Palace Marketplace!

Palace Marketplace is a new, fast-growing platform used by about 400 public library systems in the United States to acquire ebooks.

Authors will earn 60% list on all sales, significantly more than the 45% earned from other library platforms. Similar to the other library platforms that Smashwords and Draft2Digital distribute to, Palace Marketplace expects to take all categories of ebooks except erotica. Palace Marketplace operates in the United States only.

Ironic as that was the reason Smashwords was founded. However it's fast becoming the minority genre on the site, which also distributes to Barnes&Noble, Apple, Kobo, Scribd and others, giving a free extra option to Google Playbooks and Amazon KDP.
The same epub2 can be uploaded to Smashwords, Amazon KDP and Google Playstore Books.
Don't upload a doc except to generate LRF etc. Best to upload a dual mobi for their local Kindle customers.

They only redistribute epub.
