I'm preparing an ebook launch in July. I am self-publishing and distributing the ebook DRM free in multiple formats via Gumroad. I looked at Amazon and others as outlets but I didn't see much advantage. BTW, I have a day job as well and don't expect to make much money but at least I will have full control over my product including the ability to send out updates to customers as well as refund if someone isn't happy with the product.

Amazon gives the advantage of visibility as with a few exceptions they seem to be where most people (at least in fiction, if you're doing non-fiction I don't know) have had the most success (I hear romance does way better on B&N for indies, no clue why). And Amazon lets the author/publisher choose DRM or not on KDP, though you can't change it without losing all sales rank etc.
