Just wanted to let you guys know about glossi.com is a new site for authors to promote their books and for readers to be able to read samples of books, called a "glossi".
I realize you could just read a sample from the "look inside" feature on the ebook store, but with a glossi you can add video, artwork, and as many chapters as you want so it can potentially be a much more immersive experience.
The online interface still has a few glitches (it's in beta at the time of this posting) but you can do quite a bit. It certainly has a lot of potential. Best of all, it costs nothing to create one so all you have to lose is the time it takes to create one.
Bummer. It does take a little bit of work. It took me quite a few tries to get mine the way I wanted. Keep at it. I even emailed tech support for one issue and they were very prompt in getting back to me.

Here's my first glossi:

If you make a glossy, be sure to post it below.
