I need a portable e-book reader for reading out of copyright books which are available from Project Gutenberg and Internet Archive. I find reading long texts from a big computer screen very tiresome and I want to save the money it would take to buy ridiculously expensive print-on-demand editions. These e-books are usually available in plain text format, so I need a simple portable reader which I can easily upload these on. It would need to have a clear, easy-on-the eyes display and a screen at least 6" tall (preferably 7 or 8). Do you think you can recommend me something like that? I’m really quite clueless when it comes to these modern gadgets so any advice would be much appreciated.

Does it? If so, what are the prices? I want to have a full set of the Haunted Mansion’s stretching portraits and I have no idea where to get hem besides the World of Disney store.
I want to print a one-off book for a family member, but I need it to be made out of a really thick paper because there will be cut-out-and-make parts. Lulu don’t seem to do a paper like this. Anyone know who else I might try?
Ran into this print on demand espresso book printing machine in St. Johnsbury, VT. Turns out not only is he printing off books to sell (and fill) on his bookshelves in the store, but he is running a publishing company from his bookstore as well, providing a full range of services from copy editing to book design and cover art, ISBN numbers and more. There are three main pieces, two printers (making it partially modular); a B&W laser printer on the left, which prints the bulk of the book on standard size, double-sided 8.5×11″, a color printer which prints the cover of the book on single sided, heavy (vellum? 88lb? not sure) paper with I think some sort of smudge-resistant color ink. In the middle is a large, plexiglass enclosure that the two printers sit on, and appears to have three distinct lobes; the collating unit, which collects the pages and applies the “perfect bind” glue, combining the cover with the pages. Next it drops down into the lower lobe where it is pressed and cools, before shifting left where the book is trimmed to size.
Now asking the question for a specific scenario: What if the Fed tried to print more dollar notes during the current Financial crisis to bail out banks and common citizens of US? What are its(printing more money) consequences in the short-run and long-run?
I’ve looked at a lot of different self publishers and the biggest complaints across the board are 1) poor customer service. 2) Poor print quality for print on demand books and 3) Low royalties. Any advice before I commit to one would be appreciated.
Ok, so maybe I phrased this question wrong… I’m looking for actual self-publishing companies that people have had success with, ie good quality books and the other factors I listed. A name. I’ve looked at lots of companies and done all kinds of comparisons… who have you self publishers been satisfied with? Who screwed you over? Who called you back on the phone when you had a problem? Who?

I had a book published by Booksurge (Amazon.com’s print-on-demand publishing unit) in 2009. I would like to transition the book to a traditional publisher so it can reach the bookshelves of Borders Books, Barnes and Noble etc. to increase sales. Recently I had an excellent (5 star) review by the Midwest Book Review. Is this Review powerful enough to make a traditional publisher think seriously about picking up my book under their imprint? Is the MBR as prestigious as Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal.com, BooklistOnLine.com (ALA), PublishersWeekly.com reviews?
