Many publishers are resisting to the e book format with all their might. It’s very evident that eBooks are definitely the way to go these days. They are sure to benefit people all around.
Books are at that metamorphosis stage today, where music was a few years back. Many producers thought that opening up digital versions for sale would lead to more piracy. But look at the success of iTunes. Digital publishing solutions are all set to herald such a revolution for the publishing industry.
E books surely make a lot of business sense, probably more research is needed to dwell into this. Going digital, rendering editorial services might look risky, but its worth taking that risk.
The fact that these books are electronically delivered is icing on the cake as their are no further production costs. Publishers often find themselves between a rock and a hard place because they need to keep up with the cost of production, but sell as many copies as possible at the same time. Hardcover books are reaching the point of being priced out of reach for many people. Not everyone has $25-$30 to spend on every new release that comes out
People are busier than ever these days and often read on the go. What better way to read several books and have access to them at any time than with an ebook reader! Appealing to these 'on the go' people should be a major goal of publishers who want to make sure their books fly off the shelves. Publishers should take all these facts into consideration.
