As part of one of my courses this semester, I had my students divide into groups to write book chapters for a book on how to teach online. The book will then be published online for free. So in this effort, I have been analyzing different methods to publish online and thought I would put my findings here for others to use:<\/p>\n

Apple’s iBooks Author – http:\/\/www.apple.com\/ibooks-author\/<\/a><\/p>\n

-Free to use
\n– Slow publishing times – account and such need to be approved by Apple. Apple can reject your book.
\n– If you charge for your text, Apple owns the rights (they take 30% of profit). If you offer for free, you can still publish elsewhere because there is not ISBN. But the good thing is that you can distribute for free!
\n– iBooks only work on Apple devices so those with PC, Kindles, or other eReaders are out of luck.<\/p>\n

Amazon Self Publishing: Createspace<\/a><\/p>\n

– Free
\n– You own copyright
\n– Cannot distribute for free. Must charge at least 2.15 per book. If in Kindle, must charge based on file size. Minimum charge is $0.99.
\n– Amazon provides free ISBN through createspace<\/p>\n

SourceFabric – http:\/\/www.sourcefabric.org<\/a><\/p>\n

– Free to publish and host – you host on your own server
\n– Can distribute anywhere<\/p>\n
