I guess I just hadn't done the math. There is one other option I know of that you might be interested in.. It's a small subsidiary/spinoff/something of random house called xlibris ( http://www.xlibris.com/ ) If I read their faq right, they basically handle the sales, fill and ship orders, and split the royalties with you. They have some kind of print-on-demand technology so you never have to buy boxes of books. The basic service is $200. That's all I know about them, but it might be worth a look.
