Well, I'm just starting to look into how to publish up online with Kindle e-books, using Amazon's CreateSpace, checking the Barnes & Noble self publishing section, and such. One thing I found out is that with CreateSpace the extra bandwidth needed for illustrations and pictures ends up costing the author money because they take an extra $$$ out of your cut for this. That bites. Not only does CreateSpace take their cut (plus extra for the drawings) but any advertisement mention done automatically over on Amazon ends up taking a cut too, bringing the author's portion way down.
Since this is all new to me, I posted questions asking for input and feedback from professional cartoonists (and semi-professional ones) over on the two main cartooning boards on YahooGroups. We'll see what they say about it. I haven't found much on individual blogs with this topic.
I'll keep you updated as to what I find out. If I do find out anything.
