Just a quick update.

After some further research we're foregoing Amazon and the Kindle altogether as they don't allow UK based publishers to sign up with them and both of the authors are a little bit wary of the DRM scheme used with Amazon. It's a shame, because the Amazon exposure would have been nice, alas DRM has created another digital ghetto in its wake.

At the moment it looks like a 2-pronged approach. Release on Feedbooks and other Creative Commons friendly sites (Including here) and link back to a web-site with more info on the authors, upcoming works etc and have a donation button there on the site. I think they're both happy with that route, but there's still a long way to go yet.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
