I was recently asked about
marketing indie children’s books. I hated to say it, but I have never seen
anyone do really, really well in the children’s ebook market.
Part of the reason is possibly the subscription service Amazon has called Amazon FreeTime. For just $2.99 a month parents get access to “10,000 kid-friendly books, movies, TV shows, educational apps, and games.” The indie with an ebook at even 99 cents has a hard time competing with that.

So should authors with
products for youth just skip indie all together?
