Frost000: Thank you for your feedback. Yes it is a bit cheaper to produce an E-Book but you still need to:
-Register the book with the LOC (Library of Congress)
-Buy an ISBN for Each copy of the book that will be sold
-Marketing
-having the book editing by a professional writer.
If I go with the E-Book it would bring the price down to about $800-$900 which I am beginning to think is a better option and maybe just have as only a few hard copies printed (10) instead of (32).
You do not need an ISBN to publish on Amazon KDP or the Barnes and Noble Nook thing. Smashwords provides free ISBNs. As far as I know the only problem you'll have with ISBNs is with Apple, but I could be wrong. Why would you need to register the ebook at LOC?
You can do this a lot cheaper than quoted. And at any rate, go back to my first question. You're a business owner. It won't take you long to save a few hundred dollars and front this yourself.
