Really? I never saw that. All I can say is I sell a lot more on bn than Kindle--last month over 700 copies of Bad Thoughts at bn and about 54 on kindle.

Dave, the latest word I get is that Amazon DTP wants one year exclusive if I want them to do promotion. In other words, no Kindle/Smashwords combination. I'm pondering this.

Hi Howard, I've put my first two books, Fast Lane and Bad Thoughts, up on Amazon Kindle store and Smashwords. I've also put up on Amazon as a Kindle download a collection of short crime fiction that's also being published as a trade paperback by New Pulp Press later this month, and I'm in the process also of putting my Shamus-nominated novella, Julius Katz, up there. I'm also planning to put up an original novel, Vampire Crimes. Think Sin City with Vampires. This was a book that I had a bunch…
Hi Howard, I've put my first two books, Fast Lane and Bad Thoughts, up on Amazon Kindle store and Smashwords. I've also put up on Amazon as a Kindle download a collection of short crime fiction that's also being published as a trade paperback by New Pulp Press later this month, and I'm in the process also of putting my Shamus-nominated novella, Julius Katz, up there. I'm also planning to put up an original novel, Vampire Crimes. Think Sin City with Vampires. This was a book that I had a bunch of young editors at different houses try to acquire but they got shot down by their bosses because it was a thriller that was actually noir, and a vampire novel that wasn't softporn for teenage girls (seriously, those were the reasons I was given, but reworded...). I've also got one of the producers involved in Outsourced trying to get a film deal for it, so I'm going to try this experiment.<br />

IJ, if you send me an email at dave.zeltserman@gmail.com, I'll send you word docs with sample front parts for Smashwords and Kindle--the rest of your word doc will be the same for both, and just needs to be formatted according to Smashwords..

Ouch! Not any time soon? I knew there was a hangup. Guess I'll do what Dave did. (Unless my agent comes through meanwhile)
