I looked at the Kindle books under the category of Cooking, Food & Wine. There are more than 6,000 ebooks, but most appear to be the electronic editions of print books. I scrolled through the first 100 bestsellers and saw maybe 1 book that might have been self-published, but there's no way to know.

Yeah, why not make it available as an e-book if you can get the rights back. Might as well work it. OP means out of print, right?

It's great that you can capitalize on your techie knowledge and develop an app so quickly. And ahem, since I am a book editor, I'm looking forward to helping out writers who want to self-publish.

Congrats. He said to stop trying to control the content pipe. I think that speaks to a lot of people who are afraid to put their content online because people might steal it. Including recipes, which aren't copyrightable as a whole anyway. Good for you, Alisa! Congrats.
