If I Write an Ebook, How Can I Make It Valuable to Readers?

This article will address the question authors should ask before writing an ebook. That question is, "how can I make my eBook valuable to readers?". We live in an age now that is so competitive for eBook authors. Therefore, we must deliver content that goes beyond providing information someone can get on some forum or community-driven website. We must set a goal to add great value with our information. In this article, I provide two goals every author of ebooks should aim to achieve.

Goal 1 - Don't Just Teach, Show The internet is saturated with ebooks on virtually every topic, so as I alluded to earlier, the competition is great. One of the things that will set you apart as an eBook author is to create ebooks that don't merely provide instruction. Go beyond the norm and add demonstrations for how the reader should accomplish what you're teaching.

You see, one of my favorite advantages that ebooks have over traditional books is the ability to insert links within the text and even images that are hyperlinked. Now some authors insert affiliate links in their text, but I hardly ever do that because people don't like to be pitched to. I prefer to insert links to tutorials I've created to demonstrate something I just taught. This method is a great way to add greater value than the average eBook writer provides. Truth is, most eBook writers won't go the trouble to create tutorials that demonstrate their instruction, mainly because it's time consuming. Be different and take the time to go beyond merely teaching your customers, show them how to implement what you teach.

Goal 2 - Change Lives Since there are probably other ebooks being sold in your market, you will need to have a different mindset and approach than most of the other writers in your niche in order to have an edge. I encourage you to set a goal before writing your next eBook to not only teach and demonstrate information, but to also consider how you can change a person's life. In the planning phase before you begin writing, constantly ask yourself this question. Even when you're writing your ebook, ask it before creating the next section or chapter. You'll be surprised how this mindset changes your approach. Changing lives is a much loftier and rewarding goal than making money.

I encourage you to implement these two goals when planning and writing your next ebook. You will not only set yourself apart from the crowd, but will also make a significant difference in the lives of others.

Similarities Between E-Book Readers and Notebooks

E-book readers bear some features with tablet computers in a number of ways. The similarities between these two devices have led to a lot of confusion as one is mistaken for the other. To begin with, both devices are mobile, handheld and are also very portable. An average e-book reader weighs about only 8 ounces, and that is very close to a notebook's weight of about 15 ounces. Also, there is a very close similarity of their screen sizes.

The second similarity lies in their display modes and technology. Notebooks essentially use back lit LCD screens for their display. Other than the e-book readers that use e-ink technology for their display, the rest use LCD technology, similar to notebooks. The use of LCD display is however not very beneficial as it consumes a lot of battery power and not very visible in bright sunshine.

Another similarity lies in their wireless ability to surf and access the internet. The two devices are both equipped with in built wireless access to the internet. Users can surf the net and download their favorite eBooks at anytime and anywhere as long as there is a good internet access. Although this is a similarity, it can be noted that notebooks have a faster surfing speed compared to e-book readers.

The two devices have the capability of online backup. They both have an inbuilt online backup capability that enables users to automatically back up their data in online servers. Users can upload a variety of files for backup on online severs.

Newer versions of e-book readers can now support some audio features that include text to speech and music playback. This has made them similar to notebook computers that are designed to support these features and a range of others. This ability allows the users of the two devices to listen to some background music as they read their favorite e-books.

A major similarity between the two devices is their ability to download and display e-books. With the introduction of applications for laptops, notebooks and even android devices, it has become possible for notebooks to perform e-book reading operations. This has made them similar to e-book readers which are designed for the primary purpose of reading e-books as well as other written works in digitalized form.

The two devices are both ideal devices for research work. For starters, both devices come with an inbuilt dictionary that allows users to look up definitions and meanings of words as they read eBooks for research purposes. They also support note making and keyword highlighting capabilities which adds to the research functions for students and also other users. These are among the numerous similarities that exist between notebooks and e-book readers.
