Smashwords Titles Soon Available on Amazon Kindle

Smashwords, the “people’s ebook publisher and distributor”, have announced another coup: a deal to distribute their titles through Amazon.com’s Kindle Store.

This is really freakin’ amazing given what is required by an author/publisher to get titles into the Kindle Store. See my earlier post for more info.

I worked for weeks, spending hours lurking on Kindle forums, figuring out Amazon’s Digital Text Platform, uploading dummy test titles, reviewing and testing uploaded versions until finally hitting the publishing button for my three titles.

And now, all you have to do is be an author in the Smashwords Premium Catalogue (not hard; just follow their sensible text format and conversion advice) and you’ll soon have ebooks available to Kindle readers!
