Despite the social media temptation of Pinterest, Instagram, and YouTube, we still want to read some good books.
Instead of reading books in a hard copy we prefer the digital format of an eBook.
- You can use this as a free or paid giveaway on your website, to promote your business.
- You can sell Amazon Kindle eBooks passively to make money online.
Multimedia and social media have not turned our minds into a mush, as predicted by many experts. They have just changed the way we access books and how we read them.
WHY DO PEOPLE PREFER READING EBOOKS TO HARD COPY BOOKS?
If you want a book, just use the internet to download your favorite book from Amazon into a Kindle or Kindle app and within 30 seconds you will be reading your book on your Kindle e-reader, tablet, iPad, computer or cellphone.
What makes eBooks so compelling is the fact that you can easily access them anywhere you like.
You also don’t have to carry about a bulky book nor worry about where you’re going to store all your books at home.
There is no need to carry extra weight because all your favorite books will be on your Kindle app. Whether you are travelling or going to a business meeting, you will always have your book by your side.
Sales of eBooks are growing
Recently, the increase in sales of eBook on Amazon Kindle has turned into a major trend.
The traditional publishers are working hard to adapt to the technology which makes it hard to ignore.
Recently, Yahoo stated that there has been an increase of 4,400%, which means that sales rose from $68 million to $3 billion in a short number of 5 years. That means 25 to 30% of all books have been sold online. However, it is the sales data that come from famous publishers.
There are many bloggers and common publishers who are making multiple streams of income by selling their eBooks on Amazon and their sales have not been recorded yet.
Types of eBooks
Writing eBooks is one of the most creative ways to make money. However, if you are planning to get into this business, it is important that you know there is a variety of types and formats of eBooks you need to know about. Paid and free eBooks are also available.
Bloggers are sharing free eBooks to get the email address of their readers. The size of eBooks varies from 10-15 pages to 50-60 pages or more.
There are two important types of formats you need to know about. 
- The PDF (or Portable Document Format) creates electronic documents in exactly the format intended. It is a favorite document format for readers and sellers because it is easy to access. You can sell or give it away from your website and people can easily download it from there.
- The propriety version (whereby YOU own it) is a good format because 70 to 80% of eBooks available on Amazon Kindle has the MOBI version. It is the format accessible on smartphones as well.
There are other formats available, but they are not very well known and it is better that you do not get confused with them.
