What's Happening With Ebooks?

The ebook market continues to grow, sales were at nearly $1 billion in 2010, and may reach 2.8 billion by 2015.

B&N reports that they are selling more ebooks online than printed books, and Amazon's sales are rocketing, too. In a few years, everyone will have a Kindle, a Nook or an iPad to read on. Does this mean the end of books as we know them? Probably not. It just gives readers more options.

It gives authors more options, too. Now writers can market their work directly to readers, at very little cost and with a minimum of hassle compared to traditional publishing.

The catch? Properly formatting, designing and editing the book so that it in no way seems amateurish. Not a job for the faint-of-heart.


Next, we'll discuss the first steps towards getting your book published after it's been written.
