13. Booksense Nonsense
“I’m quite certain that your book is not stocked in my local store, so I go to your site to buy it online. You’ve used Booksense for all your links… but the closest store they list is 100 miles away, and none of those listed actually sells online.”
Provide a variety of ways that your readers can get your books. Include Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and perhaps even an out-of-print search service. You want it make sure it is easy for people to buy your books online. As much as we admire their principles, BookSense makes online shopping unnecessarily difficult, especially for readers in rural areas.
