eBook Publishing: Is it Worth the Trouble?

Self-publishing an e-book requires a considerable amount of time and effort from the author when compared to other publication methods. However, aspiring authors often turn to e-books as a starting point for a career in writing. Even seasoned authors who have worked with publishers in the past sometimes consider abandoning their publisher in favour of the e-book. With the added work involved and the significant criticisms levied against the e-book industry, are e-books a valuable investment?

Once work is completed, the differences in the very nature of bound-copy books and digital reading products poses problems going beyond the obvious publishing issues. With an ever widening number of e-readers, each with its own software compatibility issues – at least for now – even the format onto which you place your writing is a consideration that can’t be overlooked. Hence, the various conversion services. All in all, the deliberations about whether or not to publish your own work are many, but worthwhile for the more adventurous writers.
