Kobo eBooks

I have sold more ebooks through Kobo, than any other bookstore except Amazon. This is a surprise because I hear very little about Kobo anywhere. Kobo makes a nice ebook reader and it seems to be a generation ahead of other ereaders.

Kobo has my books listed through SmashWords. All of the sales have been of my short stories. From the looks of it, I may have several fans at Kobo because the pattern is that one of my stories sells and then a little while later all the rest of the stories are purchased at the same time.

I am going to try releasing my next collection directly on Kobo at the same time I release it on Amazon and compare the two sites. I can get a better deal if I bypass Smashwords. Smashwords has yet to pay me for any sales on Kobo, B&N or Apple. If I go direct with the next book, I will at least get paid quicker.

I started researching this and found that Kobo does not allow me to directly sell. I have to use SmashWords. Bummer!

I make more money selling individual stories than I do books.

I should also release a bunch more short stories as they seem to do well on Kobo. The only problem is that I have to make covers up and it is hard to make a cover at work without someone sneaking up behind you and asking what you are doing.
