So, it's the big day: Release day! If you're an epublished author, release day means that now people can start buying your baby. (Why do they call it "your baby" anyway? Would you sell your baby? Oh, sorry, sidetrack.) Most likely, the easiest place to find your book is on your publisher's website. I'm sure you've already posted links to your publisher's website from your many places on the web. Be sure to keep those links updated as any link you put out there is an official reflection on you.
But now where else can you list your ebook? Here are some places, listed with Google page rank on the left:
