The Thrilling Sci-fi Reality of eReaders and eBooks
The grand benefits of reading novels via an electronic reader far exceeds reading an old fashion paper book. You can adjust the size of the print to fit your eyes, no more losing your place, or storing your books on dusty old book cases that take up space within your home. For those unfortunate people who do not have the eyesight to read, they can set the electronic reader to read aloud. Electronic readers are the imagined wonders of science fiction becoming a luxurious reality.
I'm a believer that any eBook sold for over five dollars is too doggone expensive! Being that I'm a sci-fi novelist, all my eNovels, such as my newest epic, 'They!' or my magnificent 'Apollo Trilogy Novels', sell for less than three dollars, so everyone can afford to read them. Especially in this appalling economic times which has been mostly caused by our misguided government who's been wasting our tax-money on ridiculous laws, bailouts, and failed loans to energy alternative companies.
When you purchase an exciting eBook, you're not paying for paper, ink, printing, binding, and cover...plus everyone who purchases an eBook is saving our beautiful trees.
Many eBooks are overpriced because the worried paper book publishers are attempting to slow down the rapid growth of electronic readers and their Books. For many years, these paper book publishers have been ripping off their hard working authors, and rejecting many thousands of authors because they judge their work not to be a speedy, money making guarantee. They've also been over pricing their paper books so they can fill their greedy pockets with wealth, as if these publishers are managed by Feregi's Grand Negus Zek from Star Trek.
There are also those many specialty publishing companies who cheat the authors, and some actually steal the author's novel, which is identical to stealing their dreams. One of the worst specialty publishing houses out there is 'Publish America'… They are pure evil! If you don't believe me, then please do a 'Publish America complaints and scams'…search on Google's engine.
I highly advise every new author to stay far away from these specialty publishing companies, especially 'Publish America'. Don't even talk to them, because they'll suck you in like a swift talking, crooked car salesman. The industry of electronic readers and eBooks are quickly growing, the prices are dropping, and as far as I'm concerned, an eBook is now the best method to publish your work. There are new eBook businesses popping up that'll personally help you self-publish your eBook around the world within many eBook Stores. The price of this helpful service is a small percentage, much less than a on-their-way-out-of-business paper book publisher. I've been happily self-publishing my impressive sci-fi eBooks through the E-Novel Shop.
Personally, I will never pay over five dollars for an eBook. Not even if the new eNovel was written by the ghost of H.G. Wells. Also, I will never buy another paper book novel from a greedy publisher. Like computers and the World Wide Web, eReaders and eBooks are our technological future. A future for greatly improving our lives and the lives of many generations to follow. As I said, the prices are dropping. This Christmas, Amazon Kindle is introducing a new line of wonderful Electronic Readers. Lighter, smaller, faster, with built in Wi-Fi, and two of them are under one hundred dollars.
