Trying To Write. Trying To Publish

I'm looking at publishing some short stories directly into an epub system like say Nook's PubIt or Kindle's... PowerSurge/CreateSpace, I forget what it's called.  If I can get a volunteer or three (again) to scan some stories for 1) grammar erroks, and 2) general readability... that might not help, because I get frustrated with criticisms that tell me to do 150 other things than I'm used to doing.  Sigh.  :/
