Time to get writing your Ebooks!!
http://money.cnn.com/2011/04/15/technol … p;hpt=Sbin
With the explosion recently of the Kindles and the Nooks and the iPads, it's no wonder. And the markup % on those files is absolutely ridiculous and saves on publishing costs and many other start-up problems for the author / publisher.
I haven't personally been in the market, but I know a few who are and they're dedicated.
a major paper bookstore has gone broke in Australia.
What's involved with ebooks? What kind of software? Can it be a very small book? Sell on own website?
Since Ebooks are sold as down-loadable and not indexed on the net, you can use some of your hubs, blog post and/or website articles for the bulk of your content.
I'm going to gather up my best Disney tips, Orlando vacation information and stuff and make several E-books out of them.
When I have time,,,,,
The most hubs I have on one topic is on the Impressionist artists. The main part is the pictures which I won't be able to add. Maybe I could just post the biographies but I don't know how much interest that would generate.
But...I do have some about cats on Triond...hmmm. Since I am now unemployed I have to time to do something about that...I want to avoid getting hooked on the Young and Restless again...
Very interesting, I like the feel of actually having a book in my hands, but at the same time, you can easily carry a whole library of books on an iPhone or iPad.
Thanks for sharing this information about e-books. It will be interesting to see how the publishing industry changes over the next decade.

If there are any professional, published authors here on hubpages (and I'm sure there are tons of you guys) I was wondering if someone could tell me if self-publishing is good or bad, and maybe give a couple of pros and cons. It would be my first book.

I am curious what kind of experience e-book authors have had. I am at a crossroads right now and am trying to make some decisions about where to focus my writing. I could focus more on HP or I could do the e-book gig and see what happens. What kind of experiences have people had...
