Being on amazon isn't like a bookstore where someone else had to invest in publishing and distributing the book.

You can pretty publish anything you can serve up as a PDF. Our daughter did a book as a school project and "sold" all of 5 copies...a test copy, grandparents, and someone at school for the library. They're print on demand and we get all the proceeds after amazon costs. Last I checked, our account had been credited with 15 or 20 cents. Ah...the life of a publishing magnate.
