Amazon and Google Play from now on
You read the title of the post correctly.
You may ask, what has turned me against a company I used to expound the virtues of, the answer is disreputable business practices.
Draft2Digital and Smashwords are one and the same. Three years ago, I had four sales on Smashwords, and to this day, I have NOT been paid for the sales; the same is happening now on Draft2Digital, I am waiting for the royalties from sales of my ebooks from over three months ago, and I am sure I will be waiting for a lot longer - if I get them - to see my money.
I am using only Amazon and Google Play from now on; I can hear the argument, but you haven't sold on Amazon for a long time. Well, in that case there is nothing to loose, as my last sale on Draft2Digital was over four years ago, despite their growing empire, so what have I to lose?
I sold only eight ebook on Google in three years, not a lot, but it compares well with the ZERO sales from Draft2Digital in the sale period.
Thanks for saving me some heartache. I was all set to publish on "Smashwords" as a result of my co-author’s recommendation... found that Smashwords had become D2D, and my research led me here.
