BooksOnBoard.com is a great ebook site! You don't have to pay any membership fees etc, and they have always have excellent prices and promotions going on.

I'm hoping that I can use OpenOffice, since I am running a Word version that is not supported by much of anyone or anything these days. MS Word 2000--does anyone remember that? lol I've found that there is not much file-sharing I can do with that version anymore. And it strips out formatting from the later versions of .doc files that others send me. What a shame. I can't upgrade, though. So, I'm hoping OO will work with smashword when I'm ready.
The only downside I see so far is that it seems limited for heavily formatted books. They require the source files to be in Word - which is a nightmare to use for those who know and love InDesign. Oh well, I'll be spending some fun nights with word.
I just looked at smashwords a bit. I may look into it more when I'm ready to go with e-books. Looks like a pretty good site. Thanks for sharing the info.
Thank you Kevis! This seems to be exactly what I was looking for + more.
Hopefully Amazon will have more options in the future as well.
Dani,You should probably head over to Smashwords. It offers your book in more formats than Kindle which is only DRM. Even better, Smashwords is in the process of having their ebook catalog listed on BarnesandNobles.
Can anyone recommend some good web sites (high traffic, clean design) that sell ebooks? I have 2-3 printed titles that I'd also like to make available in electronic format. They would not work for kindle as there are many pages that the customer would want to print out and fill in (charts, etc..)
Thanks for any and all feedback!
