rhadin, I chose the second book based on advice from other people who claimed success with this approach. I might offer the first book in the future.

Smashwords won't accept anything but a .doc file. I wrote my books in vim (a plain text editor) in the LaTeX format, on Debian. What I have as a result is a .pdf file, an .html file, and an .epub file. I use Calibre, so I can produce many file formats, but .doc is not one of them. Since Smashwords seems to be so important for people, I guess I will find a way to produce a .doc file. Still, considering that Smashwords convert the .doc to an .epub, they should be more accommodating to people who produce their own .epub-s.
My books don't have DRM on Barnes & Noble or anywhere else. As for Goodreads, one can actually download the .epub there, but I agree that the interface could be better. You get the "download .epub" link if you click on "Read the ebook" and leaf through the free sample (10%). The link is at the end of the sample.
