| May 24, 2012 at 7:57 | comment | added | Bastiaan Quast | Have you considered making your book an ebook? This does not have all the advantages you list, but it does (sort of) have the first. You can publish these (more or less) by yourself which means you won't have to forgo copyright. This way you can still publish the text for free as well. | |
