I've just spent the last hour and a half reading Mark Coker's Smashwords Style Guide. I just wrote my first book wondered if Smashwords was possibly too good to be true. It certainly doesn't feel like a scam, but being a newbie I want to be careful and not be taken advantage of. Your review has been a great help. Thank you so much for this post.

So far I've given away more copies of my books to deployed soldiers than I've sold, but I'm glad to have the opportunity to support our troops in a way that benefits them without costing me anything. I appreciate Smashwords' support of the program. Of course, the distribution channels Smashwords is expanding into is also a good thing for sales.
