Okay, to answer your first question, ease of publication is really a primary motivating factor for writing an ebook. A few weeks of work can produce an ebook that is immediately deliverable to the masses. It can be sold to make a little money, or it can be used as a tool to help build the blogs subscriber base. In terms of how to go about it, there are any number of avenues. Certainly the primary step is writing the book in any word processing program. I prefer Open Office because I can one click convert the file to .pdf. which is fairly standard for an ebook format. Alternatively, there are great sites like Smashwords.com whcih will convert your document into all of the standard ebook formats. If you would like more info or guidance, feel free to email me george@tumblemoose.com Cheers! George Hi Emil,

Forgive, the impertinence, by the way, I've scoured your site and thought it was a nice read all in all. Firstly, why write an e-book? What advantages does an e-book offer over conventional hard copy (apart from ease of publication)? Secondly, how do you go about writing an e-book? What do you need an is the drafting process any easier? I've considered writing one myself, I am a writer and a teacher, and I think an e-book would be a great thing for my students to help them with their learning. If you have a chance to reply to these questions, I hope that you can fill in the gaps, so to speak, it seems a great way of writing something that is achievable. Thanks.
