I've spent the last week, even before coming to this site, doing research and development on eBooks at Horror Mall, as I run Darkside Digital. So I appreciate all the feedback and views. From a technical perspective, I'm extremely knowledgeable, as I handle website building and PHP development. With that being said, the reason eBooks are stunted in growth is the complexity of the simple conversions. And simply too many formats for publishers and readers to deal with.

I really like ePub format. No DRM for that, but if I end up offering .epub files, we'll probably go DRM-free across the board.

But it's not that simple. You have to be in agreement with other publishers and their authors and so on.

So we'll see how it goes.
