Well, we should ask someone who is doing this already aka Monte Cook (DnD3 author) from his website. He has set up his own vanity press to sell PDF supplements for DnD from his website. I think he charged $5 for the first effort, which was thirty pages long or so. He even released errata as a small electronic patch that altered the original PDF. He is obviously planning on doing more supplements, so I suspect the venture has been profitable for him and the response from the community is highly positive (see reviews at various online RPG sites).
In short, I've been following this electronic discussion and it has strengthened my conclusions about Gloranthaphiles*.

*I'll keep to myself these opinions about the demeanor, average age, and flatulence of the average Gloranthaphile.
