Audio eBook Revolution
It is true that there are still people who continue visiting bookstores to have a look on the various shelves where books are stored, take one, sift, turn pages, buy it if it's the one that if they search or replace it gently in its place on the shelf.
But this good old method of acquiring books tends to disappear gradually giving way to the e-Book that you can buy from home, an airport or a hotel room, provided that you have at your disposal a PC and an Internet connection just by debiting your credit card.
It goes without saying that some people will never accept to change their old habits that are to take the bus or subway, go to the best libraries in the city for the pleasure of taking possession of the precious book to read.
Their delight is in the realization of this desire to move, walk, walk around the shelves and buy those traditional paper books they bring with them in cellophane bags and they will read at their leisure; otherwise these books will be used to decorate the library lounge.
By the way, what about the e-books? When do people buy the e-books and how? Is it difficult to write and publish a book in this electronic format? Can one make money from them? The benefits you can get from electronic books are many, for example storing so much in your hard disk or in a CD.
You do not have any problems of space and no longer fear they deteriorate, turn yellow or even smell rancid over time as long there is a moisture problem at home.
And the best is the fact that now you can read the contents of your e-book using your MP 3 player, while lying comfortably in bed, driving your car or when you're stuck in an airport.
You no longer need prodigious resources to publish a book and offer it for sale.
If you have the gift of writing, there is currently some open source software to help put the file in PD F format, illustrate it and offer it for sale on the web with very little money.
Creating an audio version which complements the e-book you offer for sale gives credibility to the work in the same way that you make a film to boost sales of a traditional novel.
By adding an audio version to your e-book, you multiply the benefits by two.
The version of the audio e-Book exposes a wider audience (those who do not have time to read it) while suggesting just the desire to acquire a copy and keep it at home.
Creating an audio e-book format is easy and just needs a microphone and open source software.
Simply turn on the microphone and read the text yourself and then correct the errors.
Although it may take a little longer to take advantage of your e-Book on the market, you will make important sales at interesting prices that will offset your modest investment.
