Oh. I have a small publishing company - Dybbuk Press - and currently I am looking for an investor after 6 years of doing it on my own using Lightning Source and Kindle. I don't get ripped off as much as the big guys but every so often I see a Web site solely devoted to putting up content and a lot of times that content includes my books. I don't make a lot of money off the books (although I do make a profit on most of them at this point) so 800 people downloading the thing illegally just bothers me.

I make about $100-$150/month on the 8 titles I have out.

Exclude the fact that on Kindle, I actually put up my books for free (This Other Eden and Teddy Bear Cannibal Massacre are currently free on Kindle if you would like) because in that case, I am getting publicity for the books and when they are no longer free, people can pay the $3-$4 I charge for them.

I also write but I only sell 1-3 stories a year at this point.

Most of my money comes from writing term papers for college students.
