Jean, Is it possible to get Amazon.com to stock hard/soft copy and Google Books to stock soft copy (they already support PDF in addition to epub.) It would would not be bad to see if Barnes and Noble as well as Kobo would also stock the soft copy for their Ebook Readers as well. This would certainly assist with in reaching new users particularly if they are provided for free and would provide some great advertising as well. I know Amazon and Google have programs to self publish but I have not actually tried them out though. Is anyone interested is publishing them in epub or mobi? I would like to learn how to format and produce epub so if someone knows how and wants to lead this then I am willing to port some chapters!
