Is an eBook Enough? - video

The comments were very helpful, my two books that are being turned into E-books, will get-out to the public quicker, than the way of a printed book. However just like Sam Barry mentions in the video, doing it both ways is the best way to get your work out there.

That is true Keith. While the ebook market is growing much faster than the print market, the print versions still make up the bulk of book sales (not sure how long that will last, though). I think it's important to know all of our potential markets and then evaluate which ones we should be in based on the our budget, the book's topic, audience, life cycle, and its intended use. For instance, fiction is one of the fastest growing ebook segments. But fiction writers can get away with having no physical copy (sort of) more than, say, a speaker and workshop teacher who wants to sell her book in the back of her paid workshop sessions. ShE need a physical book for sure. It isn't that folks won't buy an ebook version of a non fiction book... but if she doesn't have a print copy on hand then she is losing sales to a captive audience.

Very helpful comments. i appreciate ebooks are good for quick publishing but a lot of people still prefer to read the paperback copies.
