1) 20mb cap at the moment - typically ebooks are small though, <1mb. If I start running out of space on the machine I'll re-evaluate that - for reference, there's about 11gb used at the moment, with around 20k books total uploaded. Plenty of capacity left.
2) See 1.
3) Free while it's in beta. I only launched a week ago, so there's still a bunch of things that need to be done. And I'm not making money off it, but the total investment is a small AWS instance and a domain name, so I won't go hungry as a result of it quite yet :)
4) No. They're automatically sorted into public/private based on copyright status at the moment. Fairly high up on my TODO list is a "make this private" button for things that you upload.
5. It uses Calibre (well, ebook-convert, part of the Calibre suite) behind the scenes. So pretty much any document type should be able to be used. In practice because I use epub internally, you'll get the best results with that - and you won't have to wait for the conversion process when you upload.

1) What file sizes can you realistically expect to upload? Please don't say any size.
2) What's the storage limit?
3) How long will it be free? If always, how are you making money?
4) Are all books uploaded public?
5) What file formats are supported?
Good questions!
