Disclaimer: bikeshedding 1. I think you're not charging enough, see: http://blog.asmartbear.com/selling-ebook.html. Why not PDF version for 29, physical copy for 35, both for 39, both plus t-shirt for 49? Have a fat student discount for the PDF. You're selling to a small population of either professionals who make $ from the info you provide or students. 2. Why give lulu 20% to control access to a zero marginal cost download that you have to do all the promotion for? At this point are you contractually obligated or is there some flexibility? Can that be switched over right now to just email you when someone orders the PDF and you manually email them the PDF until you get a system in place to automatically respond to their orders? Its my understanding that you're coming out with more books in the future. It would seem to help all of us if you can maximize the revenue from that effort as we are a small but committed group.
