Will eBooks replace printed books?
Publishing your work as an eBook has its advantages:
Simpler & Quicker Process:
In the first place, the publishing process is simplified. If your work is good, you can self publish or select a good ePublisher-whatever suits you. You don’t need to run around from one publisher to another, where the possibility of getting rejected is high. Needless to say you save on money and time.
Cost Benefit
ePublishers do not have high printing costs to contend with and hence can accept many more works for publication.
Test the Market
Another advantage is that your ebook helps you test the market. Once you have a realistic assessment of the numbers, you can go ahead with conventional publishing.
Worldwide Reach
Availability on the internet makes it easier to reach a wider audience. If you have the right publisher and your internet marketing and social networking is in place, you should have no worries.
