Purely curiosity on my part. You mentioned that you didn't get into the tech writing for the money...
How does the money compare when you self-published?

So far, my experience is that it's about the same. Self-publishing, I get about 10x more money per sale, but about 10x fewer sales. It's also about 100x less hassle, though, so definitely worthwhile.
Your mileage may, of course, vary.
