Epublishing 10 year Anniversary!

On October 9th it will be ten years to the day that I began my e-publishing adventure. Epub was in it's infancy back then, just taking it first steps on a journey no one knew where it would lead. There have been successes and failures along the way but all in all I would give it an unqualified win. I have eight books of my own which, incidentally, now all reside on the Kindle platform. My first few ebooks were done with the Bookbaby service online. They made it easy to get a book published and if you could make your own epub file it was downright cheap. The Kindle experience gradually became more and more tempting and with their program of paying for pages read to their Kindle Unlimited readers, I finally cut my ties to BB and enrolled every book into their Select program. It came about as an accident when BB suddenly started paying me for those pages read. I commented to them about the new feature and they replied that that was a mistake and they were removing me from that windfall. Thanks a lot! I asked if they could just change it and they said, no, you'll have to republish and pay another startup fee of $300. Well, being the independent publisher I am, I simply canceled all my books with BB and moved them to Kindle Direct Publishing on my own. BB was great in those early days helping me get into the ebook world but times change and now my money doesn't have to go through them to get to me. I recommend Bookbaby to those who aren't epub savy to check them out. They are a great company but after a decade, Fun-E-Books Publishing has outgrown them.
Check out my very first e-book at it's new location and if you have a Kindle Unlimited membership you can read it for free! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09HR71MSP/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i6
