![]() That's why by the way a lot of the free titles tend to be by the bigger publishers and that a lot of the "Free ebook announcements sites/blogs" are secretly promotional vehicles run by the independent publicists of the major publishers.Īnother thing. I'm sure the bigger publishers didn't need to try the price-matching technique mentioned above. For example, lots of Harlequin novels and first volume of a sci fi series are free. I just want to add that the Big 6 probably have separate side agreements with Amazon to allow a certain number of titles to be free. I agree with the main answer - and in fact I have done it to make one of my books for free permanently. I have one title that I published under a pseudonym that has been free for months, in spite of the fact that I have raised the price on all other sites and tried repeatedly to get Amazon to raise the price. Also, if you think you may want to raise the price back up after a while, I would not recommend doing this. There is no way to control how quickly or when Amazon will respond, so you won't be able to determine the specific date(s). ![]() If you want to make your book free for a limited time or on a specific date, I would definitely NOT recommend this approach.

You can click that link and provide them a link to the product page for your free book at one of the other sites, and eventually they will match it. If you go to your e-book's details page on Amazon, you will see a link that says "tell us about a lower price". ![]() The advantage of Smashwords is in distributing to Apple and Sony. Amazon does still do the price matching, and that is the only way to get your book listed as free on their site. ![]()
