Getting ones e-books into the most effective sales channels can be a daunting task for anyone, especially for those new to self-publishing. An author can have many questions, such as: What are the various distribution methods? How can you compare e-book retailers? What are the hidden pitfalls that can hinder the process? How can you clarify potential earnings? Do you really need Amazon just because they are big? Why do you need to understand Amazons underlying motives before signing an exclusive deal?
These and many more questions are answered in Unlocking the Secrets of E-Book Publishing, Get your books into sales channels (with or without Amazon). The short, easy-to-read little book is divided into two sections. Part One gives an overview of key e-book sales outlets, pricing policies, and restrictions, plus numerous tips, glossary and links to many resources. Retailers covered include Apple iBooks, Barnes & Noble Nook, Ingram Spark, Amazon, and Kobo Books, as well as third-party aggregators and more.

Part Two sheds light on Amazons history, motivations and earning potential to help the self-published author assess the retail giants effectiveness in an overall distribution plan.
