As another Kindle author, I've been browsing this thread with Great Interest. I only recently published two books on Kindle. Why Kindle? As some people guessed: Easy, accessible and there are forums right on Amazon where I can talk about books (mine and others.) Kindle-only is in no way a slight; it's a starting point for many of us. Self-publishing has been around a while, but figuring out where to sell and how to go about it has been messy and time-consuming--with no assurance that anyone even wants the product! Amazon made it pretty easy to get started, tracks sales and has helpful side products like an author page, the forums, places for reviews, tags and so on.
I've learned from this thread that I need to spend some time on Smashwords. What I can't really know ahead of time is whether there is going to be demand for the product...which is just an ongoing concern, I suppose for any writer.
Thanks for the thread. It's informative. I'll be spending some more time reading through it and learning about where to spend my time and efforts.
