Hi, Sandra!
I’m enjoying my 365 tips. Today, however, I clicked on your post and checked out Enthrill and they have closed down.
Thought you might want to know. I don’t know how easily you can update your tips. No big deal, just letting you know! 🙂

In reply to Cristiane. Cristiane, your publisher can purchase the e-book gift cards from Enthrill. Maybe send them the link to that page on the site? Sandy

I love this option. There is a mixed bag of folks who want traditional paper books and those who don’t want to collect books, have no time or energy to lug a book around, and enjoy a fast read on their e-readers/ipads/phones. So far, my publishers own the rights to my paperbound and e-books. How do I get around this? Getting book cards from them is horribly expensive and takes awhile.

In reply to Sandra Beckwith.

It would be a bit convoluted. Essentially, I’d
1. Create a code on Smashwords that allows someone to download the book for free
2. Sell the person the book using my own payment processing system
3. Give them the code to download the book in the format of their choice

I could have pretty cards made up to provide the code for a more professional appearance, but that’s essentially the process.
