The problem with using publishing sites, or any website for that matter, is that they'll restrict controversial content because their users' content is a reflection of the site itself. If users post something controversial, or in your case mentioning minors in a vore story, the publisher could be hit with a lawsuit. It's not realistic for sites to allow anything to be published. However, if it means anything to you, I've stumbled upon vore ebooks on Amazon. I haven't read any of them so I can't vouch for their quality or content, but at least Amazon seems to allow vore to some degree?

You also mentioned if there's a sustainable way to sell vore ebooks. Even if you did find a publisher who would distribute your work, you would be writing for a very niche audience. I don't want to sound negative, but marketing ebooks is difficult, especially if you are writing about a specific fetish.

It's not impossible to sell vore writing, though. Personally, I don't think finding a publisher for an ebook would be your best bet. There are websites like Gumroad that let you sell ebooks without needing to publish them. I haven't used Gumroad but it's worth looking into sites of that nature.

Not sure if any of this helped, but regardless, good luck to you.

I do not know about a book that focuses solely on vore, but I own a physical copy of a book published on a website it is has a few prominent vore scenes.

I've found quite a few fetish related books on Amazon, many of which included vore. I plan on sticking a couple of novellas and a book or two on the platform at some point.

I was going down that same road a few months ago. Eventually, I realized the amount of work I'd be going through - using various platforms, losing whatever sized cut, worrying about having my book taken down - probably wasn't worth the money I would hypothetically bring in.
I published two books through a small publisher that did their own marketing, and aside from friends and family buying the book (which I definitely wouldn't have in this case), I didn't come close to paying myself for the time it took to write them. I don't think I'd do any better writing for a niche audience that already has a ton of free lit.

In the end, I decided to just make the e-book myself as a PDF, distribute it for free on here and deviantart, and ask people to donate to my patreon. I did it because it was fun, and in my experience, mixing art and a paycheck generally leads to disappointment.

Whatever you choose, I would stick away from Gumroad - I was looking into them, but some reviews made them seem really sleazy.
