I keep track of e-Book deals on Kindle Nation Daily. I get an email every day with e-books on sale for a short period of time. So I get a normally priced e-book for 99 cents to $2.99 instead of $7.99 to $12.99.
The other day there was a very interesting article entitled Some Bestselling Kindle Authors Weigh In on the Kindle Revolution: Barry Eisler, Joe Konrath, Amanda Hocking, and John Locke. Barry Eisler turned down a two book, half-million dollar St. Martin’s Press deal in order to publish directly himself via Kindle. The article talks about the changes in publishing being required now because of the popularity of e-books. I found it fascinating reading.
I highly recommend you read this article if you are intrigued, as I am, about e-books as the new way of being published.
Remember, you are loved.
I love the .99 phenomenon. I find that often it's the first book in a series and I will pay full price (if it's reasonable) for the rest of the series. Smart marketing...
