It's be...You might also want to mention Inkbok. It's been signing up authors and publishers for several months and, according to a Monday email, should go live with its ereaders in March.<br />I'm signed up to have my ebooks distributed through Oyster and Scribd as well as Inkbok, but the last has me most impressed. It may get the subscription model right. At $4.95, the price is probably closer to what the public is willing to pay. They also have what will probably prove a more solid and stable business model. Authors get 60% of the total income, with the dividing depending on how many books are read.<br /><br />Inkbok will also have free area where no paid subscription is required. For authors, that's a great opportunity. Readers can sample the first book in their series to get a taste. Authors earn whether those readers buy or subscribe to read later books.<br /><br />Uploading requires an ePub or PDF version of the ebook and is easier than for Apple or Amazon. Authors and readers can check it out at Inkbok.com.<br /><br />--Michael W. Perry, Inkling Books<br />http://inklingbooks.prosite.comMichael W. Perryhttp://inklingbooks.prosite.comnoreply@blogger.com
