Why buy e-books?

QUESTION

Dear Kim. I am thinking about buying some of the e-books you sell in your store and I'm wondering why you don't sell print books as well. Thanks for all you do!

ANSWER

You're very welcome, Marilyn. If you're interested in informational e-books, keep an eye on my store. There are plenty more great e-books and e-guides on the way covering a plethora of topics to enhance your digital lifestyle!

What's the difference between an e-book and an e-guide? E-guide is my name for shorter e-books - full of succinct information but easy to digest quickly, with the added benefit that they cost less! For the purposes of this discussion, however, I'm just going to use the term e-book to cover all electronic publishing.

As to your question, there are a number of reasons I sell e-books and not printed books. Of course, they're "green." But they're also more convenient for everyone involved in the process.

They're easier to buy, receive, and read. They have more features. And they save you money! You can download the e-book instantly, so you can start learning right away. There's no waiting for a print book to arrive in the mail.

If that doesn't sell you right away, read on for more reasons I offer e-books instead of traditional books. >>
