Right now, my novel is published through Kindle Direct and Create Space. The book is selling - about 1 book a day with periods of no sales for a few days here and there. It's not a barn burner by any means. The Kindle Direct E-Book version is offered through Kindle's "Select" program. They claimed it would lead to more sales than if it were offered only through their regular program. With sales totals like I've just detailed, do you think that is working? I don't. About the only thing I believe I did was cut myself off from the wider E-Book market, namely those who use devices other than Kindle, the most notable being Barnes and Noble's Nook.
My Select period is slated to end on August 10 of this year. I'm wondering whether I should let it expire and then put my book up on Smashwords as well as Kindle Direct to cast as wide a net out there in the E-Book market as I can. Is this a wise strategy maneuver or am I still better off re-upping the Select provision and continue my exclusive sales for my E-Book through Kindle? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
