I've found it easier just to distribute with each channel separately rather than try and use a third party service to do it. That said, D2D looks interesting, but I'd want to do a lot of testing to make sure I got the right results.KMAlexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630073196088275798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-10404892721396382712015-11-09T16:10:10.064-06:002015-11-09T16:10:10.064-06:00Sales probably won't be much different with D2...Sales probably won't be much different with D2D, but D2D is SO much better to deal with than Smashwords. It's easier to use and if you want to take your books off the other outlets, they come down within 2 days (at least in my experience.) Smashwords would have to change a lot before I'd go back to them.
