Have You Ever Read an EBook?

As amazing as it seems now, I had never read an e-book when I submitted my novel to an e-publisher. I'd never been to an electronic publisher's Web site and certainly had no idea how to download a book. I only submitted because a fellow writer told me that the publisher was open to a handicapped heroine in a romance novel.

Now I read far more e-books than print books. I often even read the Bible online because I can search for particular words or passages, compare different versions, and read commentaries and study tools -- all at the same time.

Christian E-Authors have published a wonderful devotional book, Milk and Honey for the Hungry Heart, which is available for free download.

If you're new to the world of online book publishing and hesitant to spend money on books by authors you haven't read before, you may want to read one or more chapters of a book on the publisher's or author's Web sites. Visit the Christian E-Authors site for links to publishers and authors, as well as information about e-books, news about e-publishing, author interviews, and much more. You can also find enjoyable reading at Book Reviews from Christian E-Authors.

My Web site includes lots of links for readers and e-book and e-publishing resources, including links to e-book sellers and directories, e-authors, and organizations and information about the industry. You'll also find links to free e-books, and everybody likes free!

I started reading e-books in 1999, and I've been an avid reader ever since. If you're new to the exciting world of e-publishing, I hope you'll try a few e-books, ideally by some of my fellow Christian E-Authors, and that you come to enjoy them as much as I do.

I have to admit, before I ever considered submitting to an e-publisher I wanted to know what they published. I picked up several samples at a romance writing conference (on disks) and read some romances, liked them, and then decided to submit to that publisher : )
