It depends if you want to have your book available as a DRM-free book or if you want to sell your book locked in some DRM scheme.
If you want to sell (or give away) your books the way a *very* successful establishment Baen does - that is DRM free, you have no problem producing all sorts of formats (possibly with the help of people here on Mobileread) without paying license fees for using some DRM scheme.
If you want to sell your books in a maner that the book is locked to a specific device you can register on the Amazon site and publish your book for Kindle.
Publishing is free of charge, you can set your price and you get a very reasonable cut of the procedings.
Sony si preparing similar service.
So tell us. How do you want to publish, and distribute your books?
Do you plan to sell them?
Locked (DRM-ed)
or Unlocked (DRM-free)
