So You Want To Create an E-book
Steve Saus is blogging How to Create an Ebook, which will become an ebook after he's done writing it.
I think fandom might want to look at e-books as another distribution method, particularly for either long stories or, the part where I think shit could get real, as curated collections of short stories (I'm bringing sexy zines back!)
I mean, yes, of course, the easy way to create an e-book is to drop the HTML or RTF document you've already got into Calibre and push a button. But I think Steve is going to tell us how to make it look nice.

jimhines' DIY ebook for his first experiment with publisher-free e-book sales.)
