SmashWords, pushing ebooks
On my main blog, readers have often recommended SmashWords as an excellent source of ebooks. Smashwords is a distributor, not a publisher, and they are growing rapidly. They sell ebooks through their own site, and also through Apple, Sony, and B&N. They expect Amazon also soon. I think it is interesting, both as reader and writer. Here is an interview with the founder. And here is their page about how they distribute, written for the authors.

Really, Eo? I just ask 'cuz the article begins w/stating that they are a publisher. (I haven't finished listening to the audio, yet. Started it, last night. Just 15 minutes in, at this point.)
So far as I can tell, they don't apply any selectional process to the books at all, they take everything. That makes them not publishers.
Uh, OK. Perhaps just an error in wording of the interviewer, then.
