I hear that print-on-demand publishing is getting very cost effective -- so with very little up front costs you could put it online as a bunch of shortish html pages (in a tedious-to-read-many-pages-in-one-sitting format) and have a link to order the book.

another big benefit of print-on-demand is that it will put the book back in print and it will show in amazon, etc.

actually, what's cool and original about what lessig is doing is not that he's just putting it online for free but that he's letting readers collaboratively revise it online and will then release a revised print edition.

it'd be interesting to see what would happen to Wall Street if you went down that path.
