Thanks for the comment. The book will be licensed CC BY-NC (actually, the post says that), as are Walt at Random and Cites & Insights. I’ll look into ePub (if I do go ahead with the book)…

The hope is that with the uptrend on eReaders and ePublishing, Creative Commons (have you considered licensing your content under that?), adopting an ePub would make more digital libraries acquire your work. Basically increase its accessibility and utility for the work you already put in. I’m saying this based on my experiments in publishing and selling my music online. My conclusion, very early on, was that if most people aren’t going to buy my content, then the next best thing for me is to share it and have it used. At least that’s my motivation.
