Reasons
to publish electronically, how to enter the
market, and how to decide upon an e-book
format are explained in detail in this guide
to producing and marketing electronic books.
Questions and concerns about entering the
market, formatting content, and marketing,
selling, and protecting this content are
covered in a discussion about the new
e-publishing models and the different ways to
produce e-books. Methods of distribution and
print-on-demand technology are included, as
are the economics of e-publishing versus print
publishing. Contractual issues-copyright,
security, and encryption-are dissected for the
prospective e-book publisher who is uncertain
about how to enter this unchartered market.
"It's as inevitable as page two's
following page one. Books are goners as far as
being the dominant form of reading."
-Steven Levy, Newsweek
