Looking for guidance relating to self-publishing, and where to expend effort and attention.

Thanks

Outside of Walmart, which hardly counts, the only bookstore in reasonable reach is a reliably disappointing Barnes & Noble.  So, Amazon.

I just like brick & mortar book stores so voted that way, but Amazon was a close second in my head.

Huge bookstore (new and used) in Oregon.  They also do Internet sales now.  I've heard of them but never bought anything from them cuz I don't buy many books.

I voted Amazon, only because there aren't any good bookstores within 40 miles (only one comic book store and Walmart).

I'd rather buy at brick and mortar.
