This is a kickass payment processor if you are looking to sell anything online but don't want to deal with the hassle of landingpages, hosting etc. It's all free and you pay by the transaction.

And no, I'm not associated in anyway, but I do like them and I am a customer:)

When you pubish in Smashwords they distribute to 5 others! So definitely:
1. Amazon
2. smashwords (=B&N, Kobo, iTunes!, others)

and my extra tip:
3. Google Play - they are the easiest to publish on and a MUST if you want to reach the kids:

Thanks a lot. So do i have to format my ebook according to smashwords and amazon seperately or formatting to any one of them will work for the other one also? also want to know do i get paid from smashwords?

You have to format to Smashwords specifications and submit your book to Smashwords. They will publish to Amazon. You will get paid by Smashwords and they will take a commission on any earnings you make.

Amazon accepts epub format now!
So quick answer:
Load the word doc in CAlibre,
Format to Epub
Upload to Amazon AND Smashwords.

Smashwords is much more difficult- they control the inside and outside of your book like nazis (oh sorry did I say the N word?)
Your epub must also pass validation which is a pain but not impossible.

I show you how to do this stuff,

p.s. of course you get paid from smashwords:

p.p.s. that book above is a book that Ama-dumb rejected so I had to put it on Smashwords - makes money there too!
Some authors swear to being exclusive to amazon, I definitely do not.
