Great. With the publishing world undergoing quite some stir, I think it 
would be very interesting to experience with self-publishing via Kindle.

FWIW about 300 - not at all. "Exceptional C++" has 206 pages head to toe 
and is a great book. In fact 300 is probably a good upper limit in 
today's short-attention-span world.
