Kindle/ePub Publishing Methods

Option: Leanpub

Pros:

• Conversion is easy, looks decent on all devices
• Subscriber and payment management built in

Cons

• Conversion does require additional steps to be added to publishing workflow
• 10% fees (though not at all bad compared to Amazon)
• Leanpub sells books, not periodicals, and so has no concept of "subscriptions" as such. The only way to handle subscription-like functionality is to handle it on a yearly basis, and have a book that is "updated" on a quarterly or monthly basis. There is no auto-renew; subscribers will need to be told to buy a new "book" after the current one is finished.
• No automatic delivery to devices; subscribers do receive email notifications
• Almost no control over typography for PDF versions.
