Smashwords Publishes 20,000th eBook

Self-publishing website Smashwords published its 20,000th eBook this week. This is up from 6,000 at the end of 2009 and only 140 at the end of 2008. The publisher predicts that it will have published 25,000 titles by the end of the year.

Mark Coker, Founder of Smashwords, blogged about the significant milestone. He wrote: “Do numbers matter? Yes.  Each new author at Smashwords brings more books, and more books bring more readers and more readers bring more authors who bring more books.
