WHAT ARE eBooks
eBooks are digital books which are read with the aid of a computer or an eBook reader. The content is not altered by the format. eBooks will never replace the paper books nor will the paper book become obsolete. eBooks are just another format in this digital revolution.

The pocket pc, pda, wireless phones and other devices will only increase the number of eBooks published in the future. Instead of downloading games for these devices, users will download eBooks as they seek to improve their personal and professional development.

There are several advantages of the eBook. Downloading is immediate. This eliminates the delay in mail delivery of the hard or paper back books ordered on line or from the local book dealer. They are portable. You can take it with you. Simply slip the reader in your pocket and while you waiting for the server at your favorite eatery, you can finish two chapters and slip the reader back into your pocket. Sermonizing is made easier with this eBook. Open an eBook, minimize the window while your peck away at the word processor. No more reference books falling on the floor!

As an author, eBook publishing is a dream. Discover an error in a paper book after 2000 copies and you must endure the error until the next 2000 printing. Discover an error in an eBook and immediately you can correct the error and the eBook is ready for download–all within minutes.

The eBook will never make the paper book obsolete, but it surely has revolutionized the information age.
