ObsidianRiver.com was created to fill a void in the self publishing space. My intent was to provide a place where authors could self publish their works with mininal gymnastics. I also wanted to provide a better reading experience on the web, modelled after eReaders. I believe ObsidianRiver.com accomplished that to some degree. However, I now believe ObsidianRiver has been surpassed by a better alternative.
Amazon.com has introduced a web based version, of their Kindle reader. This, combined with their self publishing portal, fulfills everything I wanted ObsidianRiver to be. Because of this I encourage all the authors interested in self publishing to direct their attention to the facilities that Amazon provides.
ObsidianRiver.com will remain in this state of "stand by" for a while until I determine the incarnation I wish to pursue. Thank you to everyone that has contributed in the past. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
