Just came across this collection of science fiction stories, available free for reading online, or download (and for only $5.09 as print-on-demand, pretty cheap, might be worth looking in how they did that, too).

Either way, the stories seem kinda interesting (though I havent read one yet):

enjoy ;-)

edit: it's also available in many different type of ebook reader formats, including Kindle, Sony Reader and ePub. One story is also available as audio.

Addition, turns out the blog article I got this link from actually explains about how they got it published for so cheap:

(from the first paragraph i assumed they used the link to the story to illustrate a point or something)

That is really cool. I'd like to see if they're making any money on this - if they can break even on their two thousand dollar overhead, this is a great publishing model. I really dig the effort they've made to share their data with us.

Even if they break overhead, there's all kinds labor associated with this that nobody got payed for, they'd need a lot more for it to work as a business model.
