What do you mean by "real publisher"? As long as the quality of the final product is good, does it really matter what publishing company has their name stamped on it?
I'm not sure about Lulu and distribution, but there's also BookSurge (http://www.booksurge.com) which is owned by Amazon. From their "distribution" page: "Through BookSurge, your book is given a unique ISBN (a sales distribution number) and is made available for sale through the world's largest distribution channels. Our authors receive the highest royalty rates in the industry, without smoke and mirror accounting - you receive royalties as a direct percentage of your book's list price on all retail and wholesale channels." There are plenty of details to figure out, but I wouldn't dimiss the "open, electronic book" -> "dead-tree book" idea just yet. On 12/11/06, Kirsten Chevalier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
