Well, Bob, you're far more of an expert than I could ever hope or want to be, but it doesn't 'feel' like a gimmick when I have the ability to offer a potential customers a 'look inside' one of my eBooks to see if they might want to buy it. If this already exists, clue me in! If any developer wants to co-work with a self-published author to create something like this, connect! Most of us don't format with InDesign (I use Vellum, and I'm on an iMac), and most of us are not tech-oriented, so it needs to be easy, simple to set up, inexpensive with basic features and fast page flip, and easy for the reader of the excerpt to use. So-it's the EXCERPT feature that authors need and want. It wouldn't have to be more than 10-20 page flip's worth, often even less, like for short stories. It would help if I had an easy to use flip book for Chapter or Section excerpts.

I can link to the Zon's free Look Inside feature and then you can buy my book from them-BUT, I might make a living wage if you buy the book direct from me. A book author needs a 'Look Inside' feature that does NOT take the reader off the website, unless it is to purchase the book direct from the author. For the exact same amount of marketing and promotion work, authors can have you discover their book on THEIR OWN SITE, and make make more money if you buy it from them with an easy and safe purchasing platform (PayPal, credit and debit cards, shopping cart, etc). Many variables are going into this decision, not the least of which is the Zon's capricious attitude towards authors, especially with regard to discoverability. When I say 'more and more' I'm talking hundreds of thousands of authors. Fact #2: More and more so-called Indie, and self-published writers, including major pub house names, are beginning to sell their own books from their own site (as well as linking to Amazon and other on-line retailers). Fact #1: Amazon's Look Inside the Book feature is its MOST popular feature for book buyers (and authors/publishers).

It seems to me that a great opportunity exists for someone or some company to present a SIMPLE flip book program for FICTION AUTHORS that can be embedded in a website, and here's why I say that.
