Take a look at a book I helped my friend put on both Kindle-direct two weeks
ago (ebook route for Amazon). This is a book he wrote in the style of Alice
in Wonderland.
http://www.amazon.com/Time-Twelve-ebook/dp/B0064CKNAA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1321310825&sr=8-2
the paper book is still in process at createspace.com We had two versions
of proof copy sent to us and I believe that the author is ready to put the
print-on-demand book out very soon on Amazon. So far it is available at the
createspace bookstore
