This text is a simple and to-the-point read on the ins and outs of e-publishing. It answers as many questions as you can think of -- and then some -- about the whole business. I highly recommend it.

Great little book! As a writer myself I appreciate the concise, no frills writing style, and the author's advice seems to be based on careful research and hands-on experience. This book would be especially handy to any writer who is new to the web and might otherwise be confused by the techno babble that pervades so many web sites - including the so-called "e-publishing" sites. The tips on web design and promotion are worth the price alone.
