I share his concern: we should IMO elaborate a plan/agenda to setup a
publication platform (something like itunes for example)... and you?
Assuming that we can generate EPUB format - why not just put them for
free on, say, Amazon, without DRM? That does not exclude other
companies (although it does exclude Apple); if we get books on one of
the big platforms, the rest will come to us as well. Others have built
the distribution channels; why not use those?
