Nice insights. Couple of questions:
1. Did you also considered Leanpub?(I think they have a smaller fee) If yes, why did you pick Amazon over Leanpub?
2. Why didn't you used an easy to convert format? I mean instead of Word-like processors (be it Docs, Libre, Office or whatever) you could use Markdown, LaTeX or something similar, so you could convert into... anything: html, epub (so you could publish on iBooks as well), mobi, azw, pdf, word etc.
- BlackJack 11y ago1. No I didn't. I have heard it is mainly for tech books, and the blogs/forums I visited all said that Amazon is the biggest marketplace. 2. Ignorance :( I thought everybody used Word/Docs so I too started there since I thought converting would be the easy part. Turns out that it's tough. Next time I'll be sure to use Markdown/LaTex. Do you write books too?
