Hi all, so I was surfing the internet space and came across a great interview given by technology entrepreneur Bob Young who is famous for his open-source company Red Hat Inc.

Bob discusses his views on the online publishing house Lulu.com more than 10 years after it's creation as well as his latest online venture Picture.com. 

Lulu.com selling point has always been that it is the only online portal that truly has the self-published author's interests at heart, have you used Lulu.com before and find his comments accurate? 

To clarify, I know that by opting your eBook into Amazon's KDP Select programme you are able to run a free eBook promotion for no longer that 5 consecutive days every 90-day cycle. However what happens after your 5 day KDP allowance is used up? Your eBook will revert to the original list price of no less than $0.99

As if it isn’t confusing enough to publish online, when choosing an ideal list-price for your self-published eBook… you still need to understand that, for certain readers, the price will be inflated, thanks to Amazon’s infamous Whispernet Surcharge, also known as the ‘Whispernet tax’.
