At the beginning of the year I gave up on selling my books on B&N, as I'd done already for Apple and Kobo. Their sales were tiny to non-existent compared to Amazon.
So I signed up for Kindle Select, which is available only if we're not selling to other markets. When I did I also automatically was signed up for two Kindle lending programs. For more info follow this link.
My latest book, uploaded in mid-July, almost immediately began selling, first OK, then better, then much better. (I was surprised. I broke several of the rules I'd always taken as universal and just wrote the book purely as indulgent fun. I wrote in white heat over five weeks, sparing time only for eating, sleeping, and spending time with my closest friends.)
When I downloaded the weekly sales reports I found something very important. I am actually making more money from the two lending programs combined than for selling the ebooks!
Something to keep in mind if you go Kindle-only via Kindle Select.
