So it's ok to publish the same book in all those various venues, i.e., I can publish the same book on Amazon as well as Smashwords, etc.?

My first book has done moderately well because there was a built-in audience for it (it's a book for Big Lebowski fans). So word-of-mouth and social media have helped to promote it.

What I may write now is something I enjoy writing, but I've never published in it and I'm not sure how to publicize it.
