So I have learned tonight just how powerful of a marketing tool the Kindle Select Program can be. Apparently, it can take a book from obscurity to the top of Amazon Bestseller Lists (at least based on anecdotal evidence).
I’m torn. On the one hand, I’d like to make my book available to as many readers as possible on as many platforms as possible. But on the other hand, I’d love to accelerate the process of getting discovered, to have readers give my book a chance – even if they get it as part of their Amazon Prime Membership.
So . . . should I do it? Should I go steady with Amazon for three months and hope for the best? Or should I keep my options open and publish my ebook with B&N, Apple, etc?
Ah, decisions, decisions. I don’t think I’ve slept normally through the night since the book got close to the publishing stage :).
