E-books or digital books are the future of publishing. Amazon reported last year that its e-book sales on the Kindle outnumbered hardcover books. As more and more readers today are buying Kindles, Nooks and other e-readers, as authors it is important for you to tap into this new potential market. Is your book current available on e-readers? If not, you are losing out on a growing audience.<\/p>\n

Ebook sales are growing exponentially. The NY Times reports that childrens books recently grew from 5 to 25%. It is interesting to note that the royalties from an eBook and a hardback can be the same. However, it costs only your time to create and upload an eBook. But, it can be very expensive to create and\/or sell a hardback book. In today’s economy, If you want to reach the greatest audience possible you need your book to become eBook ready.<\/p>\n
