No more Nooks

7/9/2013

What is going on at Nook books? The CEO just left after a short stint while Nook is hemorrhaging money and has no plans to address the situation after a recent report. Our recent launch of Trosley's How To Draw Cartoon Cars was marred somewhat when they discounted the ebook right out of the gate resulting in Kindle's matching that price as they are prone to doing. Why they did that is unknown. What is known is that I have pulled the book from Nook's e-shelves in response and will no longer be dealing with Nook for new releases. Sales at Nook have always been dreary no matter the book and I will not forfeit money from Kindle sales which is the leader among all sellers. Nook appears to be in a downward spiral that is accelerating even faster than I predicted. 
I have never liked their interface for my cartoon ebooks. For instance: you cannot just turn the page and go to the next chapter, you have to go back to the TOC and click to the next section in order to advance. I have heard of that occurring in the books of others so it is not a problem that only applies to my heavy image books. Their policy of offering free reads to people in their stores also irked me as a reader can get through a cartoon book easily in the half hour they are in the store. So why buy my ebooks when you can read them for free? 
So Fun-E-Books will be a Nook free zone from here on out unless they can turn themselves around and start acting like they care about their authors and indie publishers. 
No more Nooks!  No more Nooks!  No more Nooks!
