Subject: Free publications and platforms for ebooks
Hi all
Does anyone have any experience working with free (museum) publications
and ebook distribution platforms?
We're producing a free publication and I'm keen to get past the 'a
downloadable PDF is available' stage both for device-based reading
experience and also for reaching potentially larger audiences. The
publication will be for a (fairly) specialised audience, but we'd also
like it to be widely available.
Is it easy to get a free book into the Kindle store or onto iBooks (and
is discovery a huge problem)? What other platforms are there?
All experience & advice very gratefully received & happily summarised
for the list.
Thanks in advance for your help & enjoy your long weekends!
Danny
