I penned an autobiography 5? years ago...went through the self publishing route and then discovered that I would have to chop rather a lot because of the libel act...
The exercise has cost me around £10,000 with an income of less than £1,000.
But researching the bibliography and feedback has explained a lot of what occurred in my career and the systems in place in the UK.
The best part is that it introduced me to pprune and this thread...priceless.
What you can do at virtually zero cost is convert your manuscript using a program for kobo...I will tackle it myself over the winter. The kobo is a cheap e-reader - I have two, one of which I have hacked and installed a vario and GPS for paragliding, so if I'm waiting on a mountain I can read until the take off conditions come on.
Part of the reason I wrote the book is that it is part of the real history of aviation in our time. good luck
