Go to Tate Publishing and purchase the Kindle or wait until the national release and get it and Barnes and Noble.

Buy the book and perhaps you can learn basic economics? Oh yeah, your far too cynical/cheap for that.

God Bless

Bray, what's your take on Tate Publishing? Quality? Editing process?

I have a book published through them also....The Sword and the Star: Temple Mount.

Actually, I’m involved in e-publishing. The “sweet spot” to maximize sales revenue is between 2 dollars and 7 dollars a copy.

I’m QUITE aware of the issues and economics of the business.

You have a niche genre book, self-published in dead tree, that you’re trying to sell in the least-friendly format for an ebook (PDF). You could have easily ported it to .mobi for Kindle users, and .epub with free extensions to any major word processor. You could publish directly to Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and cut your publisher out of an unearned share of profits.

But you didn’t. You have, instead, virtually put up a sign on your porch, and done the marketing equivalent of peddling copies on one or two street corners.

If you actually want to SELL ebooks, perhaps you might want to check out the business advice of pros who write on the subject of publishing and e-publishing. Kristine Kathryn Rusch comes to mind, her blog is at:

Or you might want to talk to Matt Bracken, aka Travis McGee here on FR.

I’m pointing off some fairly obvious mistakes that almost all new writers make.
