eBooks have taken over the publishing industry -- just like iTunes took over the music industry.
Downloads are clearly the future. While paperback and hard cover book sales plummeted, sales of eBooks tripled in June.
The good news is that it means more money for authors, more money for self-publishers. Less money for publishers.
No more printers. No more publishers. No more distributors. No more brick and mortar stores.
Even Barnes & Noble has hopped on the eBook bandwagon: it will offer more than one million download books within a year.
eBook FACTS: The genius of the Amazon Kindle was in it's ability to instantly download books anywhere, anytime directly to the device. The Kindle's stand-alone, wireless feature is appealing on three levels: 1) instant gratification, 2) convenience, 3) it is synched to the wireless/download future -- along with music and soon movies and television. Books are way overdue to be digitized. People are often reading two or three books at a time, eBook customers often download dozens of books a month, traditional books are bulky and take up space, people like to move with a library of music and a library of books when they go places (vacation, doctor's office, train/bus to work, gym, etc.).

Our eBook blow-out price is still only $895
That price includes setting up your eBook account, getting your manuscript eBook-ready (including front and back cover), uploading the files, AND setting up your eBook web page on the eBook stores. If you have published with another company, the price is $1,195 to reset text files. Charts, graphics and photos are an extra $75 each due to the extra work involved (if you want them included).
