Thank you for reminding me.

I will positively absolutely try to get the new eBook Specialist to put this on the top of her list!!

PLEASE, what should be in a wish list area:

Title
Author
Format
Price (DEFINITELY)
Name of wisher.

I am really thankful for your reminder!! This is important!!

All that sounds good to me Robert. Glad I could be of assistance!

Instead of creating a wish list area where the customer has to fill in the blanks, why not make that an option for each book? Right now, selecting a book just gives me the option of "Add to Cart" or "Back." How about another link for "Add to Wish List?" If you look at BooksOnBoard, you'll see how they offer this feature. When I go to my wish list, there's a link to the book, in case I want to see more details, a link for "Add to Cart," and a trash can, in case I changed my mind. I know this takes more coding, but it's much more customer friendly.

I agree that a wish list would be nice to have.
Science fiction and fantasy should have separate categories.

.

Figuring where the dividing line is fun to figure out
Many book stores don't separate for that reason.

I discovered a series of stories with a SF theme hat are marketed as Romance.
If it was not for the recommendations online, I might never bother to get the first one... It was not shelved in the SF section
OTOH, I read another book in the SF section, by a popular author, that I considered P*rn.

Robert, I like Polly's idea better. And it is what I meant to say. Please add an Add to wishlist button.

Dear cfrizz:

I have seen what other sites do for a wishlist and we are moving to make it that easy. I do not know, yet, how difficult the "backend" work is to accomplish this... but we will get it done. A Wish List is definitely needed!

Are there any plans to open this site up so authors like myself with both traditionally published books through major publishers and also independent books like the extensive list I have selling for the Amazon Kindle will be welcome to upload and sell there?

Thanks!

Dear Jon:

We are actively talking with independent authors and publishers at book shows all over the USA. We will be at the giant Book Expo America May 23-27. If you have an extensive list of titles we want it. We are simple to work with and would love to post your titles. We already have the first author up and are adding two more soon.

There is a short agreement to sign (simple) and we ask that you fill out a "Meet The Author" interview email so we can get your titles the attention they deserve. I purposely try to bring this up in a big way and promote it with our "Renegade Intern" doing a book review.

Jon... I am sincere and would like to get you up in a hurry. If you will send me a PM I will give you my email address. Give me your email address and I will send the short agreement. Consider whether you need DRM on your eBooks. People here strongly dislike DRM... but we are open to you either way.

YOU get to pick the price you want each novel to sell at. We split the proceeds 50-50 which everyone so far has loved.

Thank you, Jon.
