We’re also excited to welcome the founder of Smashwords.com, Mark Coker, to our conference. According to a Q&A with Mark at the website, Smashwords publishes and distributes ebooks, and authors and publishers retain full control over how their works are published, sampled, priced and sold. Since the site was launched in May 2008, it’s become the leading ebook publishing platform for indie authors and publishers, with over 45,000 ebooks published. (We always get a little hungry thinking about it, though, because the name makes us think of Smashburger…)
