Hi Stef,

This is great news :)

You can maybe look for one of the Creative Commons license:
http://creativecommons.org/

I bought around 10 books which are also available online under a Creative
Commons license.

For a book it makes sens : nobody likes to read a full book online and if
they  have the money it's a service they're glad to pay for (well, I do).
And the most people can access your book and "spread" it, the better is the
probability people buy it. Some editors are actualy looking very closely to
this model.

Another thing to explore maybe is LuLu where you can also choose the license
of your book.
