The two ebooks I have published so far were by using Amazon's self publish tool for Kindle. Which means that if you do not have a Kindle reader, you cannot read either of them.
I was prodded to go and have a look at the Smashwords site. They - for a small percent of the revenue - take one file and then publish it on every platform out there. Including Amazon.
The system is a little slow and clunky: it took me two goes to get each book accepted into its maws - and now I have to wait a week or so for humans to inspect the documents to ensure that they contain no subtle formatting errors the auto checker missed.
But still - for the results that will be achieved for the small fee charged - service well worth contemplating when going the e-book route.
