I added the first novel of my series to that sites free ebook collection, so that's probably a driver of sales, but I get traffic from my signature link too. </p> <p>And since the site is called mobileread, I think that web fiction would qualify. I assume some web fiction readers are using handheld devices, so it is reasonable that the mobileread audience will definitely have some people interested in web fiction. </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/zomg-i-just-found-where-the-readers-hang-out#post-3756 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:55:37 +0000 tenaciousN 3756@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>Fantastic!

I think that eBook readers would be easier to convert then regular readers, since they already made the digital shift.<br /> Many of the people here are also offering some eBook formats of their work, so it's definitely an option I believe. </p> http://forums.webfictionguide.com/topic/zomg-i-just-found-where-the-readers-hang-out#post-3617 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 21:22:52 +0000 nomesque 3617@http://forums.webfictionguide.com/ <p>Considering that some ebook readers also have RSS feed aggregators... depends on your feed, I guess.
