Smashwords’ founder Mark Coker blogged the news, explaining the Apple is the biggest retailer for Smashwords’ titles: “My advice to authors:  don’t underestimate Apple.  If you’re not there, you’re missing out.  Every new country they launch represents a new micro-market, an opportunity for you to become a big fish in a small but growing pond. The authors who get out there first and establish footholds today will become the bestsellers of tomorrow.”
