Definition:  eBooks are quite similar to any other book; however they are offered in a digital format so that we can read and store them on our computer.  They can be downloaded from a website or opened from a disk.  And for those of us that dislike reading off a screen, we can easily print them out.  Books/eBooks are among the most popular purchases over the Internet and are extremely valuable to both writers and readers for the following reason (take time to consider both, even if you're not a writer...yet...):

      Writers

• Anyone (and that could mean you) can write an eBook.  If you know a fair amount of information on any one subject,  writing an eBook is a walk in the park.
   

• People who have written a book and are having troubles getting a publisher to look at it can now utilise an alternative route to market - they can easily take their work-of-art and pop it up on the Internet. 
   

• If marketed correctly, publishing eBooks online can help a writer get publicity, establish a reputation, create an income stream, and possibly open doors to the paper publishing world.  Take a second to imagine getting paid for simply writing about a subject you enjoy???  How awesome would that be...(hmmm, what could we write about?)
   

• Knowledgeable people publishing fast-moving information can get ebooks online in hours, market in minutes and create INCOME in seconds...Watch this space because we need to seriously consider writing an eBook. 

      Readers

• Readers can get access to information that isn't commonly published on paper due to the nature or dynamic content.  For example, there are amazing amounts of ebooks on making money on the Net.  Due to the ever-evolving advancements of technology, new opportunities, techniques and strategies, new eBooks are coming out fast and furious.  If those same ebooks needed to go through the timely process of a publishing house, the content could be out of date by the time it hit the shelves.
   

• Readers can usually purchase and download ebooks instantaneously in the comfort of their own home.  We can get valuable information on tons of different topics in minutes.  The world is our Oyster!

eBook Resources

• How to Write an eBook - One of the best ranked 'How to write an eBook' ebooks is called eBook Marketing Revealed.  Don't be confused by the title - it not only explains how to market the ebook; it also takes you through a step-by-step process on how to pick a topic, what information does best on the Internet, common mistakes, all the way through to getting the book on-line and promoting it.  Check the site out! (another window will open)
   

• eBook Compiler Software  - FREE TRIAL. If you already have your eBook idea, but need to actually create it, check this software out.  You can download the entire program and will only be charged if you decided to distribute your book.  Sounds like a good deal to me!
  
  Note:  I have NOT tried either of the above resources; however I wanted to give you some places to go for more information.  When I get the opportunity, I will try and review them.  If you happen to have the time to check them out, please send me some feedback so that I can pass it on to others.  Thank you.
