Does it automatically put my book out in front of customers, or is that something I have to pursue myself once the file is available?

I assume we use the method of creating ePub books, right? What about those of us who have comic books, which use only images and not word processor text?

Not so? Anyway, Lulu states candidly: "Proofing and correction of your manuscript file beyond the beginning of the 1st chapter is NOT included in the service." This is a deal-breaker for me. I cannot see paying hundreds of $$ for a finished product that is not proofread b/f offered for sale. (Can I proofread myself? If there are changes required, do I may for a new setup?) Assuming I am not already in the e-book mode (as I had thought) my option now is to learn to do all the e-book formating myself, and also the proofing. This is not unreasonable at do-it-yourself Lulu but I am not ready to climb up on that learning curve just now. I think my Lulu books are all e-book formatted. Not so?
