Ebooks are part of the new frontier of cyberspace. They are an entirely new medium for sharing marketing information, ideas, techniques, and expert knowledge. Each day the number of people accessing the Internet grows, causing the exposure of your ebook to increase incrementally. It's obvious why electronic self-publishing has become so popular so quickly.
The publishing industry, (hope that it stays this way) does not intend to forever banish the printed word to the dustbin of history. Books in print have their own special qualities and merits, and the world would be diminished by their disappearance.
Having said that, let's look at what makes ebooks so important and so unique. Ebooks have certain abilities and qualities that other mediums do not possess.
For example, ebooks are fairly easy to produce, and their production cost is inexpensive. Just think about it: you don't need a publisher, an agent, a printing press, offset film, ink, paper, or even a distributor. You just need a great concept, the ability to write it or to hire a writer, and the right software.
Additionally, ebooks are easily and rapidly distributed online. They are also easily updated; they do not require a second print run. All you need is to go into your original creation and modify the text or graphics. Because of this flexibility, ebooks can change and grow as fast as you can type.
More to come tomorrow. Please leave your comments. We love to read them.

Hi Dan & Deanna,
Your points are well taken! E-books are the new publishing method with the advent of the internet. Since they are inexpensive to publish...we should see a huge number of people publish works that otherwise would not be done.
Thanks for the great info!

Hilary, it is good to hear from you again. That is why so many people are using ebooks with back links and the contact information. This is a great way as you say to get known and quickly. With the easy way that they have to do updates.
