Use both if you are able to. Amazon's good because their ads are everywhere and Clickbank's good because you could potentially have tens of hundreds or more affiliates promoting only your product.

  The one thing to avoid is selling an ebook in both places at the same time.
  
  Doing that would exclude any serious ClickBank affiliates (who clearly and rightly wouldn't be willing to promote a product which has an alternate sales page elsewhere, for all the reasons discussed at such length and in such detail in all the conversations like those in the nine threads linked to just below), and nobody wants to pay ClickBank's 9%+ processing-fees without having any serious affiliates?
  
  Sell digital products within and without Clickbank/e-Junkie simultaneously?
  
  Alternative to Clickbank
  
  Options to handle different payment processors and affiliate systems
  
  Having product listed on different sites
  
  Can you submit a product to ClickBank, RapBank, Paydotcom and Payspree?
  
  Can i use Clickbak,plimus and regnow together of selling my product?
  
  Does Selling 1 ebook on Clickbank AND PayDotCom? = 2 Seperate Salespages ??
  
  Can I sell a single product through clickbank AND another processor?
  
  PayDotCom or ClickBank or else...

  If you want affiliates promoting your book... use clickbank. But your gonna need a sales letter that converts into buyers, an autoresponder, some promotion via JV's, affiliate tools, download page.

  Amazon works better for hard goods, while Clickbank is ideal for promoting digital products. If you have a dating website, you can easily promote ebooks and dating guides using Clickbank. If you have a fashion blog, then you will get better results with Amazon.

You can make a lot more if you are able to recruit an army of affiliates to promote your eBook at CB.

Good luck!

Both and one or the other have pros and cons...to have a balanced opinion, you may need to look at this from a long term point of view (as a viable business) and base your decision on that?

For ebooks, I think Clickbank is better.

I don't recommend use both Clickbank and Amazon. Amazon is more for physical books. And if you go for Kindle ebook, pricing will not be as lucrative as selling in Clickbank.

However, there are other platforms to put your ebook out, such as pay dot com, jvzoo...

my opinion, 2 "basic" different between CB & amazon, if you have a digital product to be promoted (such as ebook, WP themes, software, etc.) go to CB,
but when it goes to physical product, amazon is the best..
