online publishing?
Hmm...
On one hand, this would definitely make it easier to get around some of the limitations that paper publishing has. And if an online published book became popular, maybe a larger publisher would pick up the series again.
On the other, I really need some money, and online publishing doesn't look like it provides. If the online book isn't popular, then I'm screwed. And my apprehensions about continuing the series still apply.
Any thoughts, guys? Input from online book readers would be like solid gold to me, here. You're the guys who're really influencing this field, and who would know the most about it from a fan's standpoint. Is this really a viable way to get publicity? Have you read a book online and then later bought a paper copy? Can it actually help me make a living?
