Einstein was assuming someone was doing the same thing over and over with no difference in circumstances. But our circumstances are fluid.I send everyone to my website and store, but I also have retailer links at both places. I make it clear I don't mind if they buy from retailers. I want them to do what's best for them.
I'll get paid (eventually) either way, but having a site and/or store gives us a chance to showcase the books a bit before they go to retailers. I hope they've decided to get the ebook by the time they click that retailer button.
Totally agree, I've always liked how you can completely control the presentation of the books on your own website. No doubt, I'll be trying this approach again sometime (Einstein's definition of insanity...)
