You are indeed one of the many who benefit from the Select effect, and thus beeing "harvested" in the Kindle program.<br /><br />(updating the post to add links to your post,and others...)<br /><br />Really, Amazon does it really better than the (pseudo)competition the others do, giving so many GOOD reasons for authors to put eggs in its foxy paws...TheSFReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14382773423096004794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254041660921847078.post-58918980714509097762011-12-21T19:40:56.903-08:002011-12-21T19:40:56.903-08:00I put three of my ten books into the Select progra...I put three of my ten books into the Select program, and the results of the giveaways have been terrific. Even if the profit share never amounts to anything much, I've already benefited financially.<br /> <br />I've also been have trouble with other retailers discounting my books and causing me to lose money at Amazon, so I'm pulling books from Kobo, Sony, Books on Board, and iTunes. <br /><br />My biggest concern is reader access, so I love your idea of having chunks of time when I withdraw from the Select program to offer epubs direct to readers from my website. Very creative. And easy to implement.L.J. Sellershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10213491074676394406noreply@blogger.com
