Some students that I mentor have written a number of short stories that they want to publish now.

I am totally new in this area. I did preliminary research which indicates that there are now a number of e-book platforms which cater for iphone or android markets. I have a hard time trying to figure out if they are mutually inclusive or exclusive.

**Question 1:** What are the key factors to consider when choosing an ebook platform?

**Question 2:** Can they publish one story at a time (on their own) or do we have to publish all stories (as in a collection of short stories)?

**Question 3:** Do authors make money from ebooks, especially when the price is often around $0.49?
