I just heard that Direct2Digital is in the process of acquiring Smashwords. I have books on D2D, and the that site SUCKS. Also, they are worse than Amazon about blocking books. This might kill a big chunk of my income, since Smashwords will accept really nasty content, and D2D won't. I worry they will not only stop accepting my books, but block the existing books.

We'll see. Maybe the deal won't go thru. Maybe they'll allow Smashwords to continue operating independantly. Only time will tell. Right now, I prefer to focus on worse case scenarios. One of my many charms.

Is there another site you can go to?

How about a1adultebooks.com ?

Guess they just made it official since I just got the email?

I don't see how they can block what already exist. People who bought them, have it in their library. How can they take away what was already paid for? If they do, they're going to have to reimburse the lost novels, which i can't see them doing when they can just leave it alone (maybe not support it anymore). If they're smart they leave it alone, and run it as a looser division with lower moral standards than the parent company..?

Have you thought of trying to secure a contract independently as the smoking hot press entity?

I hope they let Smashwords standards stay.
