Content Inside: E-Book Publishing Success: how anyone can write,compile and sell e-books on the InternetBy Kingsley OghojaforChandos Publishing: Oxford, 2005ISBN 1-84334-099-2): £39.00, 152ppThis is a very useful book for anyone that wants to find out about how to publish an ebook. It goes right through from the initial thought processes that need to be undergone, such as `do I have enough to write about, to be able to write an e-book' , through to the practical stages involved and finally how to market and promote it. The book is divided into 2 parts. Part 1 is entitled `Writing and compiling your e-book' and Part 2 is entitled `Publishing and marketing your e-book to millions of people'.. Part 1 considers various issues such as choosing a suitable subject to write an e-book about, researching the market, compiling the e-book and copyright protection for e-books.

(p.xiii)E-book publishing is increasingly quite rapidly. According to an Open E-book Forum, a trade and standards organization dedicated to the promotion of electronic publishing, there was a growth of 25% in e-books for the third quarter of 2004 compared with that of 2003. Oghojafor emphasizes the fact that the writer of an e-book needs to be passionate and enthusiastic about the subject that they choose to write about. Indeed, this extends to the writing of any book, I would suggest whether this be a hard copy book or an e book. However, not all authors will start off with the notion that they just want to write an e-book, no matter what the subject matter is. Whilst for some writers this will be true, for others it will be the case that they want to write on a specific topic, but have chosen to publish through an e-book for a variety of reasons. The author could, perhaps, have
