I have recently finished the ebook version of the first book I released. It took me a while, it was a rather involved process because I had tables, images, cross references and other features I wanted to include. Now that I have the kindle version online, I am looking into the next step which is the iBook store, BN and other ebook vendors.
I know smashwords is quite popular in these forums ( it was where I first learned of their services ). I am trying to decide between going to these places directly and configuring them myself and using a service such as smashwords to assist with this process. A few questions I have is:
How much more of a cut does smashwords take versus if I do the work myself to get them into each store?
Are there stores that smashwords helps with that don't take individual submissions?
Are there any options other than smashwords that people are happy with? I saw lulu.com pop up in some searches and draft2digital was mentioned in some other threads I was participating in a while back.
Thanks for any advice. I am looking forward to finishing this part of the process up and moving into the promotion phase of the project...
