  1. I've taken the wishlist and put together a short blogpost on why marketing sucks on the Kindle and the iPhone store. http://bit.ly/4rqFs2
  2. I could go on all day but the absence of those six features are what most cripple these app/ebook stores compared to standard web marketing.
  3. 6. Cost per install advertising allowing me to forgo margin for greater exposure.
  4. 5. Ability to automatically customise each ebook for each customer to enable things such as extras and media using custom per buyer links.
  5. 4. A/B testing for whatever communications the platform enables.
  6. 3. Ability to e-mail/communicate with buyers incl. notifications and sales pitches, with a throttle/quota, of course, to protect the reader.
  7. My wishlist for all these ebook/app stores: 1. Detailed analytics for product pages. 2. A/B testing for both product and product page...
  8. A/B testing would be a killer feature of kindle publishing, you could test the effectiveness of front- and back matter, covers, links, etc.
  9. I wonder if links at the beginning and the end of the ebook offering extras and updates would be effective? Too bad you can't do A/B testing
  10. The disconnect between publisher and reader that ebook stores like the Kindle enforce is the other big problem with marketing ebooks
  11. RT @glecharles: RT @jane_l: wordpress and blogger, biggest vanity publishers out there... (Absolutely agreed!)
  12. Twitter spam is getting out of hand. I just mentioned a couple of keywords and now my e-mail inbox is flooded by follow notices.
  13. The Amazon black box takes a lot of the tools out of the toolbox I use at work but you could use affiliate stats as proxy end points.
  14. Can't help but spend the morning playing around and sketching marketing plans for kindle ebooks.
  15. Bloody hell: http://blog.smashwords.com/... Even offer better terms than Amazon.
  16. RT @markcoker: Smashwords to supply ebooks to Amazon Kindle Store. Yay! http://bit.ly/66A8Gl
  17. RT @markcoker: RT @godsdog "As an author services play, Smashwords has sped to the front of the pack for e-book authors" http://bit.ly/6 ...
  18. @shelleypowers I've had quite a few of those lately. Seems to be a lot of change going around these days.
  19. @tomabba Any lack of coffee is always profound. Not to mention devastating, horrifying and altogether not good :-D
  20. This is in addition to a nasty IE6/7 exploit that has just surfaced. In both national and computer security a bad plan is worse than none.
