Yeah, that's what i thought when my daughter first told me about the site. But I have researched it and it is legit, there really are no hidden costs. They do offer advanced services which you can pay for, but if you just want a very basic book that you design yourself, following their guidelines, it costs nothing. If you or anyone else buys a book, they take their portion from the proceeds. The more books they publish, the more traffic somes to their site, the sales they make. Simple marketing strategy.
Kind of like vistaprint.com which offers free business cards for the cost of s&h. Seems like a scam, but it's not, I've goten business cards from them. They do this hoping to get your business in other areas and products.
