Thanks a lot, skreutzer. I think in terms of championing open formats we're kindred souls. Your post was like an education in what's possible or not possible in this situation. If I do the giveaway, I would do something like what you suggested in uploading an .epub to my website and giving people a link to it (which gmw pointed out I don't know how to do lol but I could learn). Some of your other suggestions are no doubt great but they are beyond my capacity (or desire) to do. And then there's the complication of Amazon torpedoing the whole project with its price fixing, er, price matching.

Oh well. Maybe Amazon will go out of business and I won't have to worry about them.

Thanks again. Appreciate all your input.
