Lightning source for ebooks

Has anyone here used lightning Source for e-book fulfillment?

I'm confused as to whehter they convert your file into whatever format you request - and if so do they give you a copy of that file (so I could sell it directly from my website) I know they don't partner with amazon.com anymore - anyone familiar with their distribution channels with BN, etc.?

Thanks!

Aimee,

First of all, they do not do the conversion. That is up to you, and you must do it according to their standards.

Secondly, I don't know of any ebook fulfillment/distribution company that gives you a copy of the ebook file so you can sell it from your own website--that would be self-defeating for them, taking money out of their pocket.

Thirdly, the distribution path and who may pick up your ebook from LSI depends on which format you submit. They have different sellers who buy Glassbook, MS Lit, and Palm files. Not all ebook resellers sell all formats. To the best of my knowledge, they do not distribute through B&N.

Hope that helps.
