Steal this e-Book

Booksurge Good Material:
Recommended I
received a pdf. copy of the
eBook for review. Pdf is my preferred type of eBook.
This work is a collection of
twelve chapters encompassing articles and/or other materials
produced by a series of well known writers in the field of eBook
publishing. Contributors include Richard Eoin Nash, Dan Poynter,
Wade Roush and Glenn Sanders eBookWeb.com, Sabrina Coshow and
editor Danny Snow. Topics include 'Experience at OEB,' a comparison
of Microsoft Reader and Adobe PDF and recent Supreme Court rulings
regarding eBooks, their writers and protections. Especially of
value, I believe, is the large listing of Resources to be found
in Chapter 12.
I have in the past read several
of these articles on various InterNet sites. It is advantageous
to me to now have all of these materials in one place.
Articles included in the work
are presented in professional manner by professional experts
in the field. These are not cutesy little feel good articles
based on unfounded thought about what ePublishing and eBooks
are all about. Rather the materials gathered by editor Snow are
well considered, well written pieces grounded in research and
intended to inform. The masterful tone for the work is set in
the preface by Richard Eoin Nash, and carries right through to
the last page. Dan Poynter's 'Making the Web pay' will no doubt
catch the attention of many hopeful, beginning writers who hope
to turn their passion into a true vocation. Valuable information
is included in each of the articles. This is information which
can only serve
to aid beginning as well as well established writers.
Most encouraging to those of
us who produce and/or enjoy eBooks is the statement found at
the beginning of the Afterword: 'The inherent power of e-publishing
remains strong.'
Good collection of well written
articles by folks who are accepted as knowledgeable in the field
pertaining to eBooks and ePublishing, enjoyed the read. |
