After wondering what the hype over ebooks was all about, I started doing a little research. I soon realized an ebook is little more than a Microsoft Word document tossed into a PDF salad. So I figured I should give it a shot. Why not? Millions of other chaps have done it, and it would be nice to expand my writing horizons by an inch or two.
So I wrote one about my recent employment woes and wonders. It’s an impressive 14 pages, but that’s with some pretty intense margins and lots of sweet pictures. (Maybe not lots, but at least one every third page.)
I then went about trying to sell it to a few different clients. I failed miserably. So…I opted to toss it online at myebook.com, a neat community that allows you upload ebooks and have the world read them for free. Granted, there is no guarantee the world will read or enjoy the ebook (kind of like this blog). However, compared to other ebook sites, this one seems pretty well run, and they have some really nice looking products, including comic books.
Anyway, my first ebook attempt is located at http://www.myebook.com/index.php?option=ebook&id=9184
