Now You Can Publish Your E-Book on Barnes and Noble

Barnes & Noble has just released PubIt!, a new tool that allows authors and publishers to publish e-books through Barnes and Noble.com. Now, you can upload Word, txt, rtf, html and other files directly to PubIt!, which will convert the files and make them available as an e-book. The e-book will be available within 72 hours of its upload.

The company will take as their royalty rate 35% of books priced between $2.99 and $9.99, and 60% of books priced below $2.98 and over $10.

The new service will compete with Amazon's pioneering Digital Text Platform (DTP), which many writers have turned to for distributing their works to the Kindle and other devices that run the Kindle Reader software. Sony, too, has a DYI option for its Reader Store, and Apple is now allowing self-publishers to distribute their e-books in its iBookstore thanks to a deal with Smashwords, a start-up that specializes in DIY e-book creation and distribution.

Will PubIt! make e-books even more popular with readers - and writers? We shall see!

If you use PubIt!, send me an email and tell me about your experience. Good luck!

Book chains - [quote:3k60a92e]I was dying to remind them that authors are the reason they have a job, but held back. [/quote:3k60a92e] Oh, you should never hold back! Sounds like that was something they needed to hear. But chain bookstores are a bit of a pain. My nearest Barnes & Noble closed down recently (the Mall it was in closed.) I expected everything in the store to go on sale, and planned on buying a hundred dollars worth of books on the strength of it. But...no. No sale - not even a lousy 10% off! All they did was strip the covers off every single paper back book and send them back to the publisher. They just didn't care. Hardbacks didn't go on sale - presumably they were just returned to the publisher as is, or sent to other stores in the area. The thought of it still rankles...

Working with Camtasia - For those who does not know it yet, how does Camtasia works? 1. It can record your desktop activity in a single click. No need to have to save and compile all your files because it is recorded right there and then. 2. Can easily convert your videos into web pages. Once converted you can have your customers visiting that certain page. Videos are easier to understand and take in unlike reading texts which oftentimes is a trying thing to do. 3. Upload your pages. Publish them through blogs, RSS feed and podcasts. You may want your Camtasis videos to get around and reach out to other people that may be potential customers in the future. Nothing like being visible in many sites and pages to advertise yourself and get your message through.
