This is inspired by [this question](https://writing.stackexchange.com/questions/29854/is-it-impractical-not-cost-effective-to-publish-individual-short-stories-on-am?rq=1), but taking it in a non-fiction direction:

Is there a benefit to publishing non-fiction ebooks on Amazon as opposed to just putting them on your blog?

Let's assume that you don't want to put them on a content mill (eHow, Suite 101), and are building a portfolio. The area you're writing about is niche, and probably not viable for long (unlike How To Write, which is an evergreen topic).

So in my case, for assistive technology topics, or anyone with a narrow focus in non-fiction, can anyhow share how they decide the best format for releasing their individual non-fiction works?
