Pubish your own ebooks for kindle, iPad etc..."Sigil runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux. It's free. It looks a lot like a word processor. Simply by copying-and-pasting text from other sources or importing HTML, you can make an e-book in the open-standards ePub format. All of the major e-readers accept this format, except for the Kindle. In which case, after you've generated your ePub from Sigil, you can use Calibre to convert it to the Kindle-friendly MOBI format."

Users have round-the-clock access to their accounts, and cooperation with marketing/sales and/or external webmasters can be carried out via the internet software - 24 / 7.
