In reply to Ken.

Thanks, Ken. Definitely consider e-books if yours is on a niche topic with a small audience and therefore won’t ever have a shot at a bookstore shelf.

Thanks for stopping by!

For those who are thinking of lauching their book, must read this post. I too have the opinion that the readers of E books are increasing day by day and it suggests only one thing – “Go for E-Books”.

In reply to Jason Matthews. Thanks, Jason. I'm trying to find stats on Amazon vs. the others and will keep looking! Sandy

Great highlights, Sandra. It’s nice to see numbers to go with my assumptions about how many people discover books directly from Amazon.

In reply to Thomas C. Robison.

That makes sense, Thomas. I use that same observation about loaning out printed books when authors tell me they’re reluctant to sell e-books because they’re afraid they will get passed around too freely.

Thanks!

Most of my sales are e-books. One problem all authors have with bound volumes is book sharing or borrowing. If a reader likes your work they will lend your book to a friend, neighbor or relative. They tell you they have done this thinking they are doing you a favor not realizing that it is a lost sale. I find they don’t tend to lend e-books but rather REFER another reader to you works. I believe the reason for this is the low cost of e-books.

In reply to Connie Anderson. Thanks, Connie. That's odd! On my screen, I see my name right next to my picture. I have no explanation, but thanks for alerting me. Sandy
