Smashwords.com and LightningSource.com

The final on my decision for publishing in 2012 are the following:

Smashwords.com for short stories and non-print eBooks that are priced.

LightningSource.com for eBooks and printed material going to whatever book stores that are left out there.

Both connect to Amazon.com, so that’s not really an issue. I was earlier going back and forth about lulu.com, but I’m not really satisfied that they get a book where it needs to go in print or eBook. Nothing has proved to me that lulu.com is anything more than a really great place to get one or two copies of your book printed for cheap.

Lightning Source  has ALWAYS been on the table for great priced books and, having worked with them from the bookcovermodels.com perspective extensively, I know that they often have monthly deals for bulk copies of your book for great prices and most importantly they are an Ingram Company. Ingram is the largest book distributor on Earth and your book is closer to being in Barnes and Nobles bookstore through them. You always want to be on the right peoples catalog.

With that settled, I can direct my energy to writing without worry about who has what because only one PRINTS with following eBooks and one just does eBooks only. Neither have to share the same titles and I have more than enough not-to-be-printed eBook stories available and need-to-print novels as well. For instance, the re-issue/re-print of Butta‘ is never going to be printed, so send it Smashwords.com. Sleight of Death, Butta: Worldwide, 40 To Go are novels that will be printed and have an eBook that follows.
