What's This eBook Thing?
e-Book is the term generally used to label a book in a digital, or electronic, format. eBooks are downloadable and can be read on a desktop or portable electronic reading devices. The usual connotation of the word eBook refers to the content, and not the devices used to read it, though the word is sometimes used that way. eBook device is the more accurate term. Let's take a closer look at both eBooks and eBook devices.
Just like paper books, eBooks range from books that are professionally-published by online publishers to self-published books, sometimes called Vanity Press. With the advent of easily available world-wide marketing, self-published and self-marketed eBooks are flourishing.
They say everyone has one book in them. It is estimated that 150 human babies are born every minute on planet earth, and this number is liable to increase exponentially. That's a lot of potential stories in a lot of books!
For the self-starter, the internet provides a wealth of information on how to go about not only writing a marketable book, but how to actually market it as well. How-to instruction and ideas on using newsletters, free eBook directories, friends and contacts, writers' forums, libraries and website promotion tactics are all there for the browsing. The only limit is one's dedication and interest in following through on a dream.
One can divide eBook devices into three loose categories: devices, software and subscription services.
eBook devices have the ability to hold several different titles inside one reading device. Their disadvantage is that the eBooks must be encrypted, making them virtually unavailable to libraries.
The eBook software user can usually move easily between several compatible devices. Their disadvantage is eyestrain and encrypted content.
Subscription services use the web for storage and provide user-access to enormous collections.
