Hi. Good list…Just want to update the bookhitch description – bookhitch invites publishers and authors to add print, digital and audio books for free, and connects readers directly to publisher/author websites where they can purchase the title(s). The $19.95 per year/per title Premium Listing option offers a number of book promotion opportunities, including (in addition to the 120-word description and book reviews) a book cover image displayed next to the title, an author biography, first chapter previews, book trailers/videos, website advertising with book titles randomly displayed on the bookhitch homepage, and a separate webpage/ URL with direct links to listings on bookhitch that authors/publishers can add to the own websites.
