I may have picked up a new contract last night, in an area I know absolout-el-ee nothing about ! <yeh, I'm a bright one >

One of my contacts has written a book and wants to publishish it as a free e-book, (all the usual platforms, I already know of software that will do that part)

Here is the tricky part...he want to make it free and generate the revenue via advertising the same way free game apps do.

As far as I know, e-books are designed to be read offline and hence wont generate anything since no ads are presented.

Anybody know of a way to make it online-only so the adds rotate and the guy (and me) get paid ?

The idea is "free" is going to get a LOT more circulation than charging 4 bucks or something for it.

If it is truly something good than I believe a publisher would be best.

But, anyone can publish a book. Amazon comes to mind, but from what your are describing I am not sure.

I'm actually gonna cheat on this one.

I found a local app developer who can do it for me, so am farming the job out to him.

It'll seriously cut into my cut, OTOH I am making a decent buck just for e-mailing a file. Most profitable 60 seconds of my life !!!
