I love to share information, I can’t help it – it makes me happy. SO, in that light, I want to make sure that all E-reader users who read my blog know the following:
You can find ebooks on more websites than just your normal Amazon.com, Barns&Noble or Chapters.
The one I’m going to tell you about today is called Smashwords. This is a website where indie writers can publish their works. You’ll find a great selection of indie ebooks – and the great thing is, it doesn’t matter what e-reader you use, because you can download the book for a plethora of different devices on this website.
You can leave reviews, save your favorite authors, and there are several payment options including my preferred choice; Paypal. If you’re looking for a nice free read – Smashwords is ideal because it will allow you to filter out the free novels.
I’ve tested it out myself, purchased several books there already, and I have found nothing to complain about.
I highly encourage you to check it out – and of course you are always welcome to come back here and tell me what treasures you have discovered!
Smashwords gives a higher percentage of earnings to the authors too (85% versus 65-70% at Amazon/Barnes & Noble), so they always appreciate sales there. :)
An equally valid point and another great reason to buy via Smashwords! 20% more is nothing to sneer at, that`s for sure. The authors definitely deserve it! :)
Thanks for the comment!
