As an author who also recently only had a Kindle-only book, I have to admit that without the feedback I received from the members of this site, my book would still be Kindle-only. Many you are right in saying that indie authors are uninformed about the market. I have to include myself in this group. I simply did not know about or understand the different digital formats in which books were being offered.

I am especially glad that it was brought to my attention that readers outside of the U.S. cannot read Kindle books and therefore are left out of the loop. I also agree that authors such as myself do not enjoy spending time formatting our books for the digital markets. But as we are our own publishers, I feel indie authors do bear a responsibility to do whatever it takes to make our books available to widest amount of people possible.

Although it took me some time to do so, I am happy that I am able to offer at least one of my books in a non-DRM format. As time goes on, I will make the rest of my books to everyone with an ereader, regardless of brand name.

But in the meantime, I ask that you guys be patient with us indie authors and continue to educate us on what you need, especially since in most cases, we simply don't even know that there is a problem to begin with.
