I recently added Upload to the Goodreads database (which was a cinch -- thanks to Goodreads to making it so easy!), and when I was reviewing the Upload book page I noticed that one of the more prominent booksellers on Goodreads is Kobo, a self-publishing service I hadn't heard of. After doing a bit of research, I concluded that Kobo is very indie-friendly, so I signed up for an account and went through the steps of their very user-friendly interface to publish Upload. It should be available for download within the next few days.

If you're an author looking for an easy way to publish an ebook, check out Kobo.

My self-publishing and distribution saga is still in its very early stages. I managed to navigate the murky, sloppy waters of distribution through Google Play, but I'm still waiting for my description of the book to show up. Google tells me it could be "weeks" before my text makes it to the actual listing.

In happier news, Kobo was a breeze, an absolute delight by comparison. Based on my experience thus far, I strongly recommend them as a venue for publishing an eBook. (But I'm glad I started on Lulu, where the documentation and community support are the best I've seen so far.)
