Goodkindles?

I've recently come across Goodkindles. I imagine it's probably been mentioned on here before as well. But how good are they? Have many people had any positive experience(s) using them? Obviously it depends if your book sounds appealing anyway, if people do check it out.

I never heard of it, and I'm an avid reader.

I wonder just who its target audience is? is it readers, or is it authors? As a reader, I don't look for book promotion services like theirs, I look for books. In their promotional materials, they don't really give the reader any consideration at all. They haven't given me a reason to go there as a reader.

I don't know if you should use this service, or not, but as a reader I don't see how it benefits me.

What puts me off right away is how busy the site is. It's a dreadful layout.

I think it's more for readers. Or perhaps both. People who write and enjoying reading at the same time. I was considering using them perhaps, as not having much luck with sales with my eBook that's recently been released. I doubt many people are seeing my book on Amazon. That's the trouble with self-publishing; it's getting exposure and making your book get attention. Especially after all the hours and slog I've put into it all, lol.

Well, the service seems cheap enough, I guess! Not a lot to lose.

What is Goodkindles?

Goodkindles is a book promotion site for authors and book promoters that helps writers sell their books by listing them on the website itself, and sending information about it to social media followers and newsletter subscribers.
