Etrends is something that I am going to speak on throughout the looongggg life of this website. No worries, I will not be all over the board talking about all issue technology! That isn’t what this website is about. I leave such conversations for wired.com and Mashable. What is relative to the themes of this website is the subject of ebooks and what the future of that market is. I hate to admit I was wrong but many years ago when online sales of ebooks was at an estimated $27Million, I made the statement “There is no way for these things (even though I sold them) will ever outpace the sales of paperback books.” Well, in 2010, that number was around $1.4 BILLION and will climb to $3BILLION by 2013. Since those long years ago, Border’s Books is closing down retail outlets, Ipads, Nooks and Kindle and the Android tablet(s) have come on the scene and changed the face of the publishing business. I remember between the years of 1999-2002, Jeff Bezos was trying to keep the company he founded, Amazon, from failing. At that time he foresaw the day we now live in where digital downloads would outpace KILLING TREES!

It was the beginning of the tech boom (1998) and an entrepreneur with a great idea could get millions of investment dollars from capital firms with a shoddy business plan and very little experience. Since those all time lows, Amazon has a high stock price of way over $200, Bezos is SMASHING BORDERS BOOKS with Barnes and Nobles on the chopping block next. The point is that Bezos saw a future that none of us wanted to see but now that we know he was right, what do we do? Web marketers please listen to what I about to say because if you don’t. your business will wind up in the scrap heap of Internet Marketing history! DO NOT under any circumstances ignore the following free ebooks distribution channels: Amazon Kindle Sony Reader Apple IPAD Yes, I said it and I am not taking it back! These publishing platforms are wonderful not only for distribution purposes, but for the very prestige of your website. I mean, think about it from your website visitor’s view. Even if they find your website and don’t have any of these devices to download electronic documents on and 90% will eventually just download straight from your website whatever you are selling, having those brand logos on your website are a POWERFUL TOOL to build the credibility and then trust of whatever you are trying to sell.
You are a marketer and those who visit your website are searching for what you have to offer and the only thing they know about the business we are in is how to PAY and them DOWNLOAD. You must take advantage of these publishing platform and I am more than sure at some point in the future, Google’s Android Tablet will have a MONSTER Digital Publishing platform! They have already developed Google Reader, Android Phone and now the tablet. It only makes sense that they start playing in the Ebook market also. No other company on the web has the ability to deliver as much digital content as Google, right? Digital products (information) are reaching a level of sophistication that the old model which says; Write on your favorite topic Design an ecover with free online generators Slap it up your website and start selling Anyone who is going to survive and prosper in this business is going to have to invest some money in upgrading their entire operation! Right now, it is good enough to create a book in word and save it using a basic Adobe, Nitro or other PDF service. However, the time is quickly coming that will prove either successful web marketers will have to become book design experts or pay someone to do so. As I close, I know that I have given my readers alot to think about but that was the point of this article, to get you thinking in a future direction. Should you chose not to do so, your business will close.
