When was the last time you saw someone reading a physical book on the subway? In the fast-paced digital era, everyone has their noses buried in their Kindles or iPads and iPhones. It is evident that the publishing world has gone digital and if your book isn’t part of this revolution you are missing out. Who doesn’t wish their books to be read worldwide especially without printing costs, shipping delays or shelf-space battles? Forget the old-school struggles of traditional publishing and let eBooks break the rules this year. Grab your laptops or computers because your work is not just a click away in front of millions of readers.
Whether you’re a debut author or a seasoned writer, going digital isn’t just an option but it is a game changer! So, why should you jump on the eBook train? Here are the top 5 benefits of publishing your book as an eBook that’ll make you wonder why you didn’t hit publish sooner.
1. Instant Global Domination – One Tap Away!
Remember when getting your book into international markets meant dealing with grumpy distributors, insane shipping costs and the constant fear of your books ending up as landfill? No more begging bookstores for shelf space or waiting months to get the instant recognition you deserve! With eBooks, your book is available easily, 24/7 and worldwide in seconds.
How so? Platforms like Amazon, Kindle, Apple Books and Kobo turn your world into a global phenomenon. This means a student in Tokyo could be highlighting your brilliant insights! And also, this ensures no customs and shipping delays. Just pure and uninterrupted global bookish domination!
2. Royalties That’ll Make Traditional Publishers Blush!
Traditional publishing is not only super expensive but also wastes time when you could be earning digitally without any hassle. Did you know publishers, distributors and retailers take hefty cuts, leaving you with nothing but pennies? While publishing on eBook, you won’t have to worry about these things! Why? Because traditional publishing typically gives authors 10-15% royalties. That means, for a $20 book, you get around $2 and maybe $3 if you’re lucky.
Here’s what eBook offers you:
- Amazon KDP offers upto 70% for books priced between $2.99 and $9.99.
- Apple Books gives you around 70% across more price points.
- Kobo’s rates are similarly author-friendly.
But wait, there’s more! Since there’s no printing cost, you will be left with more profit. So, don’t worry about returns or unsold inventory eating into your earnings and trust us when we say that eBook is your one-stop publishing platform.
3. Be An Eco-Warrior Without Even Trying!
Sure, paper books and magazines have charm and satisfy the aesthetic of academia, but let’s be honest. As much as paper books are satisfying, you cannot ignore that they are not exactly eco-friendly. We think eBooks are best for both the environment and your convenience because they are cheaper for readers. This makes them an instant hit for budget-savvy book lovers! And for you? There won’t be any unsold copies cluttering storage in your space.
To conclude, eBooks are a win for your wallet and the planet! You’re not just an author but you are also an environmental hero and readers love that! Many consciously choose eBooks to reduce their carbon footprint so while you’re busy counting royalties, you can also pat yourself on the back for saving the planet!
4. Fit Typos And Update Content Anytime!
Do you also miss alot of errors and find out later after the publishing? With print books, that mistake is etched forever on paper unless you pay for a new, costly edition. But, with eBooks, you’re the boss! Do you need to update stats, add a new chapter or fix that awkward sentence? Well, all you need is a few clicks and your eBook is fresh and polished! Here’s all you can do:
- Fix errors within hours after editing.
- Add new content whenever inspiration strikes and you want to alter the sentence immediately.
- You can even release special editions for holidays or events to attract readers from same country.
It is definitely like having a magic wand for your published work! All you need to do is wave it and poof, your book gets better instantly.
5. Turn Your Book Into An Experience!
eBooks aren’t just digital copies but they are next-level reading experiences that take your imagination to the next level. Also, super convenient to read wherever you want! Plus why settle for static words on a page when you can create an immersive experience that is both eco-friendly and cost-effective? If you wish to add clickable links, embedded videos or even audio clips, they allow you to explore creativity without any limits.
