Smashwords claims to give the author 85% of what users paid for hishers books. They also offer to distribute the book through other services (such as Amazon), but then the author only gets 60% of the money. Some of the authors were not satisfied with how this redistributing system (books appeared in those other shops with a big lag or didn't appear there at all).

From clients perspective the service is ok, as they provide book samples (you can read a good bit of the book before buying) and the prices are low. However I've got the impression (I can be wrong of course) that mostly amateur authors publish through this system.
