Introduction: Why Ebooks? For the longest time, I resisted ebooks. I love browsing a traditional book s pages. I enjoy combing bookstores for new titles. I take pleasure in the feel of various types of book paper. I even love the smell of books. And, I reasoned, ebooks are hard to read. Who wants to stare at a computer screen for hours, just to read a book? Much better to have a print book you can take anywhere whether the backyard, the bus, or the bathtub. But as years went by and ebooks became more and more popular, I began to realize there are several great reasons for the existence of ebooks. There are several great reasons for the existence of ebooks. Probably the very best reason is they are immediate. Probably the very best reason is they are immediate. A person can search online, find an ebook covering the topic they seek, download it, and start reading right away. No more going to the local bookstore and being disappointed because you can t find what you need, and no more waiting for a print book you order online to be delivered by snail mail. There are other benefits, too. Often successful ebooks are relatively short and to the point; often readers get the information they need in one sitting. And ebooks are portable, too, since you can download them onto a variety of gadgets that can be taken anywhere. For the person who operates a business, ebooks are an easy way to reach customers. One business owner I know offers free ebooks with every order, covering subjects he knows his customers appreciate. It s a cheap and easy way to say: Thank you for your business. Please come again.
Ebooks are likewise used by non-profit and charity groups to spread the word about their cause. Schools may find them an easy way to spread information to parents and teachers, too. And instead of spending money to print fund raising cookbooks, why not offer an ebook version, allowing your school or charity to make more money per sale? Writers of various levels of achievement also find ebooks handy. Beginners who haven t yet established themselves in the world of print publishing use ebooks as a way to reach an audience. New novelists who haven t sold their first book can market their work (for free or for a fee) electronically at virtually no cost to them. Established nonfiction writers who wish to write in specialized areas discover ebooks are often an easier way to reach a small but interested readership. So, even though I ve written for major New York publishing houses and have 17 traditionally published books to my credit, I no longer discount the idea of writing ebooks. In fact, I enjoy writing them and find them profitable. You, too, can write and sell ebooks. In fact, anyone with a computer and a little knowhow can do it. Let me show you how! All you need is: A computer that s connected to the Internet Word processing software (like Microsoft Word)
