After giving away about 2,500 copies of Essa, I decided that now is the time to start charging. Other price and availability changes are in the works for the new year, but for now, $1.99, available everywhere.
In the new year, I'll raise the price to $2.99 and make Essa a kindle exclusive. Why? Of those 2,500 free copies, 2,000 of them were from Amazon.com. That's where the readers are. I can do them favors with Kindle Select books that I can't with widely distributed books. For one, I can offer routine bargains and even free book days. Can't do that elsewhere. Yeah, I'll lose the three reviews I have at smashwords and the one review I have at B&N, but I have 24 reviews at Amazon, with a average 5-star rating. That's where the readers want me, that's where I'll be.
More later today, maybe.
