Where have you addressed any of this? You go off on your own assumptions and totally disregard the topic, how do you explain that? I think you do have an agenda, of some twisted sort, I've been overtly nice and you continue to deride.

Be pissed you started it.
Excuse me? I posted the link to the article on my site about the pitfalls of publishing to your own website, for one thing. I provided the FAQ for Amazon, since, in the gibberish, it was mentioned. I'm not disregarding the topic--I thought you'd asked, as you consistently mentioned Amazon.

You know what my agenda is? Helping people who genuinely want help, or having debates/discussions with people who have informed opinions.

This is the WORKSHOP forum. This isn't about where you sell, your political beliefs, or anything like that. It's about how to make an EBOOK. Both eSchwartz, DaleDe and BetterRed have posted several things, tech-wise, to get you started doing that. I, like the idiot I am, attempted to address some of your other off-topic comments. That was stupid. I've utterly wasted my time.

So, since you have what you need, to make your BOOK, there's nothing left to discuss here, right? If you want to find people who will tell you how to set up your eCommerce downloads cart, etc., then Peter is correct--go to the Writer's Corner.

Oh, and by the way? Since you're SO worried about how Google, etc., will steal your content from Amazon's Look Inside? DRM by Adobe for an ePUB, to be sold off your own site, only costs about $6,200 (Sixty-Two Hundred Dollars). The training to learn how to use it is more. Or, you can hire a trained operator, who will cost about $2800/month.

There are no viable Open Source DRM solutions, and the Amazon solution for MOBI is proprietary.

There. Now I've helped you on the topic you say you want help on. Now we can part.
