Despite being around now for over twenty years, no-one has yet come up with a stable definition for the word ‘eBook’. However, one can discern some typical features:

• The item is distributed as a single file (so CD encyclopaedias are not considered to be eBooks) and can be opened as a data file in an application, rather than being launched as an executable (.exe) file
• The item is both complete & completed – i.e. neither a chapter / episode / serial nor an unfinished work in progress
• The item is familiar to readers, as obeying most or all of the standard conventions of a book (e.g. contains a table of contents, preface, index, etc. and is between 25,000 and 400,000 words in length)

The advantages of an eBook

Aside from the financial advantages for the author (which I will cover below) there are a number of intrinsic benefits to eBooks when compared to the traditional printed book:

• Readers can search the text to quickly find key information, particularly when reading for a second time
• Readers can adjust the font face and size to make the book easier to read (ever more vital for an ageing population!)
• Blind or partially-sighted readers can make further use of text-to-speech conversion software (“screen readers”)
• eBooks can be read in low light or total darkness by using the back-lighting features of PC or mobile devices

  The Advantages for the Author

  When writing a traditional printed book, the odds are stacked against the author making a decent living from their work! eBooks, by contrast, deliver a real return on investment for the author:

  • You cannot get rejected! A traditional book may get rejected 50 or 60 times by different publishers and agents before finally being accepted – or indeed may never find a home! Many authors paper their walls with rejection letters. You won’t have to!
  • You don’t have to wait! For the traditional book, it can take up to two years for the publisher to get your book to market (managing as she does a huge and inefficient supply chain of printers, shippers, wholesalers, distributors, marketers and booksellers). An eBook may take no more than 10
