Van Buren and Cogswell begin with an excellent explanation of what an e-book actually is, followed by an overview of the different e-book file formats, software, and hardware.

The step-by-step guide on converting manuscripts into e-books for the various reading devices contains valuable tips for self-publishers. The authors stress the importance of publishing a quality product and advise on how to maintain digital rights and register for ISBNs. In addition to crucial tips on how to effectively market your finished e-book, Creating E-Books wraps up by showcasing success stories and examining future trends in the industry. I definitely recommend this book -- I believe it would be a powerful addition to any e-publisher's resource library.
