eBook Publishing

ebooks account for a small but significant proportion of the total number of books sold. ebook publishing is likely to grow considerably over the next few years and although there is no doubt that most people prefer the tactile experience of printed books, ebooks offer the reader almost instant access to your work. For better or for worse (make up your own mind) this appeals to the I want it now! mentality that is part of modern consumerism.

For an additional fee (the amount will depend on the structure and layout of your book) we’ll create an ebook version of your printed book for sale in a variety of marketplaces including Amazon.  We think that there is no evidence to suggest that ebook only editions (i.e. no printed version) are in demand in sufficient numbers to justify publishing in this format only. This may change but there are a number of developments that will need to take place in the publishing industry before that is likely to happen including the universal adoption of colour ebook devices. Interestingly there is anecdotal evidence that people who buy ebooks are not buying fewer printed books – in other words people who like books are using the facility of ebooks as an additional medium not a replacement.
