    What's your opinion on selling e-books?

    As the Sony Reader is reaching out to Europe, the Kindle is selling in the U.S., and other e-book readers and e-book-capable devices (like PDAs and cellphones) are selling well worldwide, I'm curious how this forum's members consider e-books these days?

    I'm asking how many of you read e-books, and how do you see them as compared to printed books? Also, any comments regarding reading hardware or software.

    I am always trying to gauge my market, examining all the distribution systems, and delivering only the best product to my customers. Information like this really helps me to grasp a better idea of how to approach the market.

    It's a competitive and saturated market. That being said, do not let this stop you.

    There are two ways to bring in income from an ebook in my opinion:
    • The content of the ebook will drive potential customers to your website.
    • The purchase price of the ebook as a source of income.
    Either way, I think the only way to make money from an ebook is to build an affiliate program that encourages other people to sell your ebook as well, and drive traffic to higher margin offers.

    If your revenue stream is from option #1, then you should price the ebook very low or just give it out for free.

    If your revenue comes from option #2, then you should price the book appropriately to market demands.
