Antellus Removes All Smashwords Links From Its Site

March 16, 2010 - PRLog -- "After some six months of struggling to maintain our distribution channels with Smashwords, we have finally had to bid farewell and removed all our ebooks from their site," said author and owner Theresa M. Moore. " Issues arising from their inability to maintain their conversion engine, their program subroutines and the frequent rate at which their site goes down, as well as consistent lack of sales as a result, forced us to make this move. We have replaced their links with our own to our publishing partner in addition to our own buy buttons in order to provide our epub and other format ebooks to you direct from our own site."

With the divestiture of Smashwords comes the end of any further efforts to use a third party platform to sell or distribute the Antellus catalog of ebooks. "We have posted our preview downloads to Scribd for review by outside readers, and we still maintain our books and ebooks on Lulu, Amazon and through their Kindle ereader. But we will continue to maintain the highest quality shopping experience for readers on our own," Moore added. "After reading of some of the problems associated with the iPad, Nook and other ereading devices, we are disheartened to know that the bugs were never ironed out, so Smashwords has proven less than adequate for our epublishing needs." Thank you for your kind attention.
