I think for technical non-fiction, the recommendations of the OP and the article he links to are worth consideration. They may be the way to go, they may not.

I think for technical non-fiction, the recommendations of the OP and the article he links to are worth consideration. They may be the way to go, they may not. Chances are your audience is highly specialized, and you may be able to use that to draw them into your website and sell them the book while they're there. I think for fiction, Amazon and the other major sellers are a must. That's just where e-book buyers go for fiction.

To your first paragraph, certainly. Also, I think a lot of technical buyers have had bad experiences with programming books having horrifically formatted source code and diagrams on the Kindle, so it's a harder sell. I certainly didn't want to imply the OP is wrong, just that, as a marketplace, Amazon does require special care to give special results.
