I'm about to try my hand at designing a cover. Let me know how yours goes. I normally leave all web site design to my webmaster, but I thought maybe I could do this.

I've put eight of my short stories up in a collection called 'Tough Guys: The homicide cases of Turner Hahn and Frank Morales' on Smashwords last night. Artwork I'm still working on for the cover--and for me, formatting it exactly the way they want it is being a little difficult (I'm only a quatro-geek)--but so far the results are interesting.

Given the chance to get one's backlist 'live' again is just one positive effect and working with Smashwords makes it so easy, it's a no brainer. The whole future, maybe not, but a large part of it, yeah, big time.

Thanks for the comment, Andrew. In addition to this forum, I've investigated it around the internet and it seems that most people agree that it's a good deal.

"A great secondary marketing venue" is the impression I'm getting about Smashwords. Do you think this might be the future of digital publishing? It seems like it'll certainly be part of it.

Smashwords is very good. They have a great intake engine, a simple and useful interface, they process your books into all the right formats, and they don't take a big cut. In addition, you can coupon your books, control how much is available for sampling, etc.<br />

I also participate in the Operation eBook initiative, which is being done through Smashwords. It's aimed at providing eBooks to soldiers deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not only is it a good thing to support, but the word of mouth has…

I've been with Smashwords for months and continue to be impressed. It's a great secondary marketing venue for published authors who have digital rights. Since Smashwords is negotiating sales opportunities with a variety of online booksellers, my previously out of print work is now alive and kicking in digital form, on barnesandnobles.com and soon others.<br />

I had already arranged to be with shortcovers.com and amazon.com/kindle; otherwise, Smashwords would have given my work these options as well. I, too, have been blogging about my exploits in electronic publishing for months.<br />

BTW, Smashwords has terrific client service and excellent instructions. Highly recommend it. Anne--

Interesting piece on the Smashwords and Kindle comparison. It would appear that Kindle can't hold a candle. (note the alliteration)<br />

How long have you been up on Smashwords, and how do you generally feel about it?

Mike, both of my novels are available for download on the site. My publisher thought it was another way to expand exposure. There is a program I'm involved in called OPERATION EBOOK DROP. Smashwords provides free ebook downloads to the troops serving overseas.<br />
