As far as I'm concerned, keep doing what you're doing. With the proofreading, I didn't mean to sound accusatory, and if I'm spending a dollar on a book, I could care less; the point was more that paying for proofreading doesn't seem to be doing you any favors. You obviously have a lot of readers buying your books, and as far as $1-4 self published books go, yours aren't any more error-prone than others. Maybe you could post sign-ups for beta readers to do the proofreading for you in exchange for a free copy, or something along those lines? If that worked out, it would only cost you a few quid, and hopefully not much more time than you're already spending on the editing/proofreading process with professionals. Maybe that would take too much of your time to be worth it, but again, what your current proofreaders are giving you is very sloppy. Thanks for filling me in on the proofreading process
