When I heard about Amazon's new deal to give authors an incentive to let Kindle owners "borrow" their book, I was initially against it. I didn't (and still don't) want Amazon to create a monopoly for books.
However, after reading several people's positive accounts of the service, I relented. Since the program was announced, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords haven't done anything to make me keep my book up there, and the benefits seem to outweigh the negatives.
I get money if someone "borrows" my book. I can set my book as free for a few days.
If you want to read Flyday but you only have a Nook, Kindle for PC is a free download, and the book is available in paperback, either straight from me, or from Amazon or bn.com. I'll try this out for three months, and if I decide it's not worth it, it will be back up everywhere on April 19th.
Saturnine is currently undergoing edits, and I still plan to give it a wide release (Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, and eventually paperback) as soon as it's finished. Keep checking back for more updates

I wish you luck. I'm still getting some lingering sales from when one of my books was free, but without any shares going on I kind of want it up on Nook et al.
Still, the potential for success is there, and Selects hasn't really had a chance to catch on yet anyway. Do report your findings, yes?
Thanks for the comment. I already got cold feet though and pulled by book from Select because Amazon won't let me change the price. I'm running other promotions to make up for it, though.
I also like the kindle select program. It seems like a good program and you can opt out of it after 3 months if you chose. It is worth a try.
This is the good opportunity for the people which can not ignore.Amazon has given the opportunity to the people having great good books kindle.
