Customer Reviews

A super new resource, thorough and easy to follow!

I've been waiting for ages for a book to come along that makes sense of this new technology, and ePublishing for Dummies does it! Ms. Rosenborg has a real knack for taking confusing, technical information and making it easy-to-understand and even fun to learn about. EPublishing is really a revolution that allows "the rest of us" to manage, publish, market, and package all kinds of written material into this exciting new medium, and ePublishing for Dummies offers the tools to enable us to do it. This book teaches you exactly what you need to know to make the most of ePublishing. A great resource!

Technical, but understandable (and enjoyable!)

I wanted to write my own eBook and 'ePublishing for Dummies' helped me through the process every step of the way. This great 'Dummies' guide showed me just what to do, with easy-to-use instructions and smart tips, now I can publish my own titles! Not only was the book helpful, Victoria Rosenborg is funny and I enjoyed reading her work!

ePublishing made e-Z

The inevitability of more publications being distributed via eBook format is pretty well conceded by any expert familiar with the dollar and time benefits of ePublishing. How soon we start seeing titles in eBook format, which subjects they cover, and which format version becomes the accepted standard depends on how easily the issues are understood and the techniques for creating eBooks explained."ePublishing for Dummies" makes a major contribution in that advancement. The more publishers, technical writers, and budding authors read and apply the topics covered by this book, the sooner ePublishing will take off. ePublishing does not spell the end of paper books... it simply offers another delivery medium for published content - superior for many readers. Thank you Victoria for making writing and ePublishing approachable.ePublishing is not for the faint at heart, it is still "early adopters" territory. But this book does provide credibility, easy-to-use instructions, information, and insight - and that's a start!
