This is indeed worth thinking about. I do have one book listed at Smashwords, but I really dislike their production method, which requires books formatted to the lowest common denominator.
It might work OK with "Kai Lung" for most formats, and is worth thinking about. But so long as I also sell at the Amazon Kindle store, I can't sell it elsewhere with a lower RRP.

Or list it on a site like smashwords, where you get 2/3rds of the net.
List it for 3$, you'd get 2$ and how many increased salesat 3$ vs 7.99?
Twice as many? Three times? Even with a modest 50% increase in sales you would come out the same. And if sales go 3 X you'd make double.
Just stuff to think about.
