I never thought of that. Great advice. Scott Berkun shares his methods and success. What are we waiting on?
Congratulations on your book.! It is great to see that people are excited about e-readers and reading electronic books.

That being the long and the short of it. Lesson learned at any rate. I found your post very informative and hope that it will serve as a means for assisting me in my endeavor of publishing my book. I am currently in the process of the sequel, and have considered a repeat of the first book on-line; I like your idea of having it on-line for a period of 48 hours.
