>>>But the bulk of print-on-demand books are on paper. The economics of printing are upside down, compared with traditional publishing, because there's no stock. So you don't invest into printing thousands first, and then worry about sales. You print them as orders come, i.e. your printing service does that for you, and sends them to your customer. You do get some rebate if you order a few dozen or few hundred and sell them yourself, or if you have a distributor do that (but then you have to give them their rebate) - but you need no stock, no investment, period. Which means these guys have created a citizen publisher. Anyone can publish a book.

>That's, IMO, the main trouble with citizen publishing - there's nobody standing behind you with any authority, there's no guarantee that any editor has even heard the title of your work, or that anyone has proofread it at all, you're just one more writer in the crowd. If you look around Lulu, for instance, you'll find all sorts of them there, and I sometimes think I may be in wrong company.

From the many times you have corrent me here for poor spelling, I think you are right. Maybe you should expand your horizon and get in the editing and publishing game.

By the way, I have bookmark that site.

>Also, you're an one-man-band there. You do the bulk of the work - not just write, but proofread, make it look nice (i.e. graphical looks of it - unless you want to apply their default style, which to me looks too much like default normal.dot), and then advertise and sell it. OTOH, if you can do that all (or delegate some of the work to someone who may do it better), you're keeping all the money.

Sounds good to me.
