About

ePublishing is a new frontier as the industries of language meet the revolution of internet technology. Amazon’s Kindle, Sony’s eReader and now Apple’s iPad all vie for this significant new market.

How this will ultimately impact on the nature of readable content remains to be seen, so early are we in the uptake of eBooks. With rival companies producing competing formats, newspaper, magazine and book publishers will evolve or die.

Authors are able to self-publish and self-promote using the internet, podcasting, and blogging and social networks.

Think this is all hype? Then follow the news as it happens and make your own mind up. I suggest Len Edgerly’s excellent podcast The Kindle Chronicles.

Len is a creative writer, and his fellow practitioner’s attitude along with his relaxed tone gives his podcasts a well-formed and fluent style which makes them both easy to follow and truly informative.

UK-based Paper Not Included is group blog which includes Brian Kellett, aka Tom Reynolds, author of ‘Blood, Sweat and Tea’.

Both of these excellent resources cover the rapidly developing field of eBooks.
