Can anyone recommend me a good ebook publisher?

divineathena @divineathena (1746) • United States 3 Aug 11

I published the tarot meanings at Bukisa. And now I get many readers who are finding them very helpful. I am thinking that it would be great to change them into Ebook form with an addition of some more beneficial information on...

mango_nectar In addition to the ideas that have already been mentioned, I believe Barnes & Noble also allows you to publish e-books that can be downloaded form their site and read on their nook e-readers. That might be another option for you to consider, although I am not...

Are you a writer? What do you write about? Have you ever finished a book? Is your life commitment to end your book and publish or die trying? Mine is, if you want to exchange ideas here, to make this a support 'group', actually...

mango_nectar I have written a few short stories before but haven't published them, other than one or two in my literary magazine back in high school. I am working on a novel right now, but it's mostly just a lot of ideas in my head and I don't know if it will ever make it...

I have tons and tons of paperbacks that I would like to get rid of. I have donated some, and sold some at a garage sale, but I still have lots left over. I was thinking about trying to sell them on Amazon, but it looks like the...

mango_nectar If you are not used to having coffee/caffeine, it can make you pretty jittery, especially if you are already nervous to begin with! However, I definitely don't think that having alcohol before giving a class presentation would have been a good idea...

How many years should you spend at school?

mango_nectar I think that there is no set amount of years that would be considered "right" or "wrong", it's just that different countries do things in different ways. I went to school in the U.S., and I went for 14 years, because I did one year of pre-school before I...

mango_nectar I use a few different survey sites, as well as writing a blog, and offering gigs on fiverr. None of the things bring in "the big bucks" by themselves, but when they are all added together it does give me a little bit of extra money each month.

wongchoiyee @wongchoiyee (7413) • Malaysia 28 Jul 11

I just curious if you can't make enough on the internet, would you look for supplement income or do you want to use little as can be? For me I want to use even little coz I don't have interest to work offline anymore.

How to act normal when you fall in love with your friend

mango_nectar I would definitely recommend going back to your dentist about it. He might be able to give you a crown or something, because obviously just gluing it back in isn't working that well for you. I would also recommend trying to eat applesauce, soup, mashed...

Failed Relationships
