I'd suggest that Smashwords is probably ideal. You just need to have a simply (& regularly) formatted MS Word document, and they do all the conversions necessary. Their automated conversion is very good unless you have any fancy formatting or graphics to include.
I'd suggest setting a price between $2 and $6. For an unknown writer, perhaps towards the lower end of that range.
There is no way to get into the Kindle store (at the moment) if you don't have US Bank and address.
If it does do well, you could also look at doing a Print-on-Demand version, which you can get onto Amazon easily.

Next: should I sell the book through sites like Smashwords for $1.50 to $2.00, or give it away free or, as I'm thinking, some combination of both?
Just to reiterate - the book is 90% Fergus' work. My role was primarily editorial, but I want to see his book out there and being read, whether it's by ten or a thousand people.
Any thoughts?
