I'm considering self-publishing some material I've written (non-fiction, professional) as an eBook via Kindle, Nook, or Apple iBooks, perhaps with a future print-on-demand offering.
Has anyone done this? Any pointers? Is one of the sources better than others?
I've looked at both Kindle and Nook FAQs, but would appreciate actual user feedback. Cursory survey has me ignoring Apple due to their exclusive I-get-control attitude.
Edit: I finally did it, and got the book completed and published both in eBook and print! Details on the process in some of the posts below.
For those interested, the book is titled: Soldier / Geek: An Army Science Advisor's Journal of the War in Afghanistan

Summary said:In 2009, an Army Major deployed a small team of specialists to Afghanistan to identify new technologies needed to fight the war. Traveling from Forward Operating Bases to Combat Outposts, braving rockets and IEDs, fighting the Army bureaucracy more than the enemy, this small team worked to improve everything from robots to mine-resistant trucks, boots, and parachutes. This journal of the team’s deployment provides an insider’s view into the lives of deployed soldiers and the complex process that delivers new equipment and weapons to the combat zone.
