I have just put the book up at Smashwords.com
The formatting leaves a bit to be desired - the result of it having to go through their automatic conversion routine, which still needs a bit of work, IMO.
The HTML, PDF, and ePub aren't too bad. The LRF is not optimal - page breaks after the chapter headings. The Mobi is very bad - no images at all!
But, it's done. Hopefully eventually Smashwords will have either much improved conversion, or a way to tweak the results of the conversion.
I have a /beautiful/ epub version - but it'll have to wait until the weekend to go up at my site.
I'm not sure it's worth doing a PDF version at Lulu - the PDF at Smashwords is pretty good. My own is better of course! What do people think?
Oh - and a link! You can get 50% samples for free, so you can see how the formatting looks in the various versions.
