I read e-books almost exclusively because my eyesight makes reading print difficult. Most of the e-books I read, however, are full-length books from e-publishers. I'd be happy if every book was available both in print and electronic formats, and I encourage my self-publishing clients to offer both. I have compiled a series of blog posts on self-publishing into a short e-book and will probably do the same for other series I'm planning. However, I don't charge for the e-book; I consider it an extension of my blog. Interesting post, Jenn.

If you were to write an ebook on being a successful author, writing for teens, or anything in that field, I'm sure you would have no problems selling it (and for a rather high price).

Otherwise few people want to take a chance on you. Being a print author (books), and loving the feel of holding a book in my hands, I never expected to be an e-book convert. But this past year I've found myself buying a lot of e-books--and nearly all of them were excellent. I believe the quality has gone up a lot in recent years. However, nearly every time I staked my money on someone's reputation in the field. I only bought one e-book from a totally unknown person--and to be honest, it was fluff stuff I'd read elsewhere online. But over all, the quality was great!

It could be because I've been slacking in that department or because I really don't know how to do it well, but either way there's a lot I need to learn there. I'm really hoping to get some tips and ideas during this month and certainly looking forward to get started. My biggest concern with ebooks is the advertising and marketing.
