Hello friends,
In a previous post, I mentioned the frustration I was experiencing with Amazon's KDP program. The program itself is somewhat well structured but, as an author, I am missing out on the opportunity to promote and sell my novels via other excellent sales channels worldwide. When a writer opts to sign
up with KDP, they are essentially agreeing to lock in a specific novel with Amazon exclusively, for a three-month period, during which are not allowed to sell that book through any other source. At the end of the three-month period, the author can opt out of KDP to list that novel wherever they wish, unrestricted.
After much consideration, and with some trepidation, I have opted out of KDP. After all, how can I complain about Amazon's KDP restrictive program if I don't give other sources a chance to sell my books? I'm not saying I won't change my mind down the road, but for now, that's where I'm at.
I would therefore like to share with you the web addresses of these online book sellers. If your preferred reader is KOBO, NOOK or other non-Kindle system, you will now be free to purchase three of my four novels to read on your preferred app!
