The ‘Book Publishing in 2010’ by Bradley and Bartlett

It appears that e-book publishing may have a future (PWC, nd), but many book stores are slow to acknowledge and appreciate that fact.

Whether the New York Times was correct that ebook sales are falling, or Fortune Magazine was right to insist the opposite, there is only a small total readership for this format of books. Self-publishing may not be the wisest course of action for a beginning writer seeking wide readerships and high profits. However, it still might be a worthwhile path for a beginning writer who wishes to share their work without the hassle of traditional publishing. Writers must carefully evaluate their writing goals before making their decision. Because of what I learned about ebooks’ audience size, I will now be more open to the idea of choosing traditional publishing over self-publishing for my own

The advent of e-books, coupled with the rapid decline in brick-and-mortar bookstores, has left an increasing number of people pondering the possibility of actual physical books going the way of the dinosaur. As an avid audiobook “reader,” I wanted to see for myself whether or not the Digital Revolution has truly swept traditional bookstores aside, leaving publishers trembling in fear. For this reason, I chose the recently-opened Barnes & Noble bookstore at The Fountains at Farrah shopping center the research hub for my observation project.

The Kindle, Nook, and similar e-readers were created with the hopes of keeping literature alive in the digital age by converting traditional ink texts into swipeable and chargeable electronic documents. With this shifting market, authors and publishers alike have adapted in order to keep up with demand. Authors agree to allow their books to be digitally downloadable, and the books are then made purchasable for a cheaper price than print. Since the creation of e-readers, many new publication companies operating solely electronically have popped up to offer old and new authors alike the chance to be published digitally. If an author finds it particularly difficult to get their work published traditionally, they may turn to electronic publishing in order to get their work to the

The prevalent of e-books creates numerous platforms for the marketplace of books. For example, when Steve Jobs announced the launch of the iPad iBooks, it created an enormous opportunity for publishers.

Working in publishing interests me because I know, from personal experience, what literature is capable of doing for readers of all ages. Aside from educating and entertaining its consumers, books still have the ability to enhance our understanding of other cultures, beliefs, and even ourselves. Being a part of an industry that is responsible for producing and distributing these materials is something that appeals to me greatly. Not only do I want to support a form of media that is significantly overlooked, but help assure that literature continues to allow an array of voices, backgrounds, and experiences to be heard and shared within our culture.

People became addicted to searching and knowing new information because of the evolution of technology, this transformed people from being passive readers to becoming the designers and distributors of new information. Nowadays people are the both publishers and readers. They comment, reflect, and connect to other people’s work. All of the contributions of people through their new acquired technological skills have shaped technology to evolve based on their needs.

adding to its monopoly. Many authors are discouraged by this due to the fact that

Based on the amount of press coverage the company is receiving, you might think that the company is rolling in money. In fact, despite the changes I made five years ago, the opposite is true: minimal profits and negative cash flow. I know we need yet another new publishing strategy to succeed in the future: publish fewer books in fewer segments and focus more resources on differentiating those books in the marketplace.

Publishing is a changing industry. The Amazon Kindle and other e-readers have transformed the ways that people read books. Amazon's decision to become involved in publishing e-books as well as manufacturing e-readers can be described as revolutionary and prescient. "Bookstores have struggled to survive the recession and the rise of electronic books" (Turner 2012). The Amazon Kindle is particularly suited to how young people approach reading today it is in an electronic format, information can be accessed with a point and a click, and it is fairly easy to search through information at a rapid pace. Offering exclusive content through the Kindle via an Amazon publishing program seems to be the next logical step.

The controversy between print and electronic books has been going on since electronic print became easily accessible. People struggle everyday between this decision, some think in a way they are betraying themselves by choosing electronic because they have used print for so long. Everyone is allowed to have their opinion on which they prefer and should not be judged for choosing one over another. The older generations didn 't even have the option of choosing an electronic version of a book, so it can seem foreign to them at times. Why would they ever pick something that is so new and only accessible on an electronic device? What if the electronic device suddenly stopped working and you were out of a book? There are both positives and negatives to both sides of this controversy that will determine which side people will pick when deciding what they are going to read.
