Indie authors are often faced with the dilemma of staying tied to Amazon to enjoy the benefits of exclusivity, or of going wide and publishing to multiple platforms. Although I have experimented with KDP Select in the past, and might again, my instinct is absolutely to go wide. The thought of being tied to one retailer does not fill me with pleasure, however good they may be.
So, I currently publish all my ebooks in four different places: Amazon, Kobo, Google and Smashwords (for B&N, Apple etc.) Recently, however, I’ve added a fifth string to my bow: PublishDrive, who reach a bunch of markets the other distributors don’t – including some big ones in parts of the world I haven’t been able to get to before.
I’ll let you know how it goes, but it seems like a no-brainer to me: always good to have as many possible outlets as possible…
