The low cost factor is very important. Once formatted and made available as an ebook, the cost of keeping it available is very low (it could be just the cost of keeping a website up and running). This is especially true if the book can be ordered and then sent to you via e-mail within a reasonable amount of time (giving them time to recall the book, format it, and saving it in a format for your specific reader).
