ebooks research

[cfhaynes]

Hi folks

I'm updating the book Paperless Publishing, which I wrote some 12 years ago for McGraw-Hill in the US. This time it will be possible to publish independently and distribute online without all the problems that a commercial book publisher still creates for authors and other creative content providers.

I'd really appreciate input from forum members on your experiences and views of ebooks, particularly from authors. Also, the motivations and experiences of Patricia and others who work so diligently to make ebooks available to forum members.

Any comments you have on the best authoring software would be welcome - eg why is it that one of the best - Neobook - seems to get so little attention. What do you think of the new Adobe and open source formats?

You can reply here, or reach me directly at the following addresses

Thanks for your attention
