I don't know about the software part but if you are looking for a publisher
and can't invest a lot of money, try Lulu.com. I believe you can run copies
as you need them

* Hello all.
* 
* We have a project to help some libraries in poor schools . We will get
them
* some used computers for internal use and we will provide web hosting with
* their own domains. We are installing wordpress for them to use it on the
* hosting we have.
* 
* 1) Besides the documentation on the WP website. Can you recommend some
* material for a "quick immersion" on how to use WP?. Not the so basic
stuff.
* We already got some theme for them and they will be using them and the
* idea is that they can do the webpages they need, more complex than the
* ones provided by the theme. That way they can be independent from our
* support.
* 
* 2) Some of the teachers of those schools want to donate their time and do
* some books so the schools can try to sell them online. Can you share
* experiences on this? I mean. We know they can use word or any suite office
* and then convert it to PDF but we are looking for something more
* professional. The idea is to help them to do all the process required from
* having the book until publish it on Amazon, Playstore, Apple store and any
* other we can find. We know that maybe is something that will give no money
* at all but with help us at all on what they have to learn. From using the
* correct tools for do the search of the material on the Internet, the tools
to
* write it and from that we all learn on what tools to use to publish it,
create
* the image of it, maybe it is necessary to register it officially? and then
do the
* process to publish it on the market websites. They also will use the WP
sites
* to promote the material.
* 
* We have found some references of people that sells "all the tips and trick
to
* publish ebooks and became millionaire" but they are expensive since our
* budget is less than zero.
* 
* 
* As always thanks in advance for all your help.
