E-books are the fastest growing segment of the book market. And self-published authors are fnding an audience of readers for their titles due to the low cost of setting up a title on an e-publishing website such as Amazon’s Kindle, Barnes and Noble’s Pubit, Apple’s itunes or Smashwords.
Self-publishing e-books isn’t expensive nor is it difficult. All an author needs to create an e-book is Microsoft Word, some photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop Elements for their covers, an e-mail address and a bank account to deposit royalty payments in. Most e-publishing websites such as Amazon or Pubit will convert the Word Files to e-pub or Mobi, the two leading formats used by the markeetplace.
