In recent years, eBooks have become cyberspace phenomena. They are not new since the advent of computers since Acrobat's PDF electronic or digital books and manuals. In the late 1990s, you will recall CD-formatted eBooks used as free promotional donations.
But with the emergence of new, engaging electronic readers such as the Kindle and the iPad, the electronic self-publishing eBook trend follows an inevitable path that soon dominates why people are on the Internet.
But let us not be concerned, the book publishing industry will not die, at least not in the near future. It's the same way music lovers have been using analog LPs despite CDs and MP3s, that you can remain nostalgic.
The e-books will bring critical mass into their existence, but will continue to be the main source of reading material for the next generation. And for the following reasons it's not just a fad:
EBooks are simple and economical to manufacture
No book publisher, agent, printer, paper stock, ink supply or distributors are needed. You can publish your own eBook if you have the great idea for a book that can attract great readers, the decent ability to write and transmit your message to and from a PC with the correct word processing application, rather than the ability to output in an uneditable PDF or similar eBook file.
Online eBooks are easily accessible
Just search Google on the matter and you will find countless return pages of free eBook sites and online business eBook retailers that include Amazon, Barnes & Noble and torrent sites that are virtual digital libraries with almost infinite book titles. You only have to search for a title or topic and a list of books to download to your PC in seconds with a single mouse click.
EBooks can be updated easily
No need to run a second printing edition. You will simply go back to your editable Word file, edit text or graphics and save it in the same non-editing file format as a new version of your titles and go back into business. This makes eBooks grow as fast as it should and makes perfect sense as textbooks for schools and collages requiring regular updates. You can also create special updates in the chapters or sections that have already been published in your earlier eBook and they can be offered for those who purchased the first edition as free eBooks.
EBooks are multimedia interactive
You can have survey forms, order forms of other titles, hyperlink to associated websites for info or purely promotional purposes and to spice up your ebook with video, audio, animation and usual photos which no book can offer.
EBooks enable full creative control
There's no need to deal with publishers and editors who believe they know better than you do. You do not need to compromise your eBooks and do not haggle with your designers. You control your creative work completely.
EBooks have the entire world as their market
Best of all, after you publish it online, you have the whole world as your potential market with almost 1 trillion of it going online every day.
