Web Sites Having produced an ebook an audience needs to be found. Every day new web sites selling ebooks appear. The writer needs to take some care when choosing an ebook site. At this stage some clear patterns seem to be developing. Most ebook sites will display ebooks for their authors taking a commission when the book is downloaded, that is sold to a customer.
Some sites demand a fee before the ebook is offered for sale.
This is to cover the cost of producing the ebook from a word-processed text. Most sites expect the author to have edited and proof-read the document before it is sent to the site. Hardly any take much interest in the content quality. Most seem to be concentrating upon works of fiction whereas the ebook seems most attractive to non-fiction works, particularly those whose information is subject to change. Lists of addresses, reference works, instruction manuals can all benefit from ebook production.
