In addition to publishing printed books in any number of sizes and bindings, Lulu has always included a PDF download option. Now, you can also offer your publications in e-book format which offers both multi-device support (iPhone using Stanza, Sony, PC, Mac and more) and digital rights management (copy protection).

You can still publish electronic documents for free, but if you decide to sell your e-book, Lulu will charge a $1.49 fee to cover their credit card processing and hosting costs and an additional $.99 if you wish to add digital rights management (DRM) to your publication.

Although most family histories include lots of photos, charts, tables and such which don’t adjust well to an EPUB format, this is great news for anyone planning to publish a text-only book.
