Hey, everyone!
I'm a grad student right now, and I'm in a publishing program. I'm taking a class about digital books, and the final project assignment is for each person to pick a piece of digital publishing and write something about it. I decided to research the pros and cons of Smashwords, and I'm looking for some thoughts on the service as a whole. I've never used them from a publishing perspective, so I'm hoping those of you who have can help me out.
My questions are pretty broad:
1. Do you think smashwords has helped you as an author? Why or why not?
2. What do you like about smashwords? What don't you like?
3. What do you think is the greatest advantage of smashwords? The greatest disadvantage?
4. Generally speaking, how do you feel about how smashwords does business?
Thanks for any answers you give. If the paper comes out well, I'll put it up somewhere for everyone to read.
