Something to think about. What about self-publishing your own collection of short stories or even publish a anthology of others'?

Having some understanding of copyright issues and contracts (difficult) as well as knowing how to get an ISBN number (easy) and EPUB format (probably not really hard) and you are in.

From David Farland's Daily Kick in the Pants today:

The real question in my mind is this: How many iPad owners will actually use it as a reading device on a regular basis? Is this the electronic revolution that industry analysts have been prophesying for the past 20 years?

It is.

Perhaps with an explosion of e-book readers and the barriers of entry falling in getting published, the playing field may be leveled a bit in the e-book marketing segment. Will the big problem be promotion?

How do you hold a book signing for an e-book?

An ISBN is a useful thing to have, frankly, in terms of making your prduct seem like a "real book".

I'm not convinced about the iPad as an eReader. A lot of people have issues with screen brightness which is why most eReaders do the "eInk" approach.
