Create, Edit, Self-Publish and Sell Your eBook as You Write It: Leanpub - Publish Early, Publish Often

Robin Good: Leanpub is a free web service that allows you to create, edit and publish your own book in PDF, .epub (iPad) and .mobi (Kindle) formats, and to sell it online at your own set price.


With Leanpub you get 90% of the selling price, minus a fixed .50cents per copy sold which goes to Leanpub. Check this table for more details: http://i.imgur.com/ziqV5.jpg


Leanpub it's simple to use, but, in my opinion, it's not for everyone, as its setup is not as simple and straightforward (yet) as that of other web apps. But if you are a bit familiar with Dropbox, if you can easily edit text files, and don't mind tagging your book text with a few asterisks here and there, then you should be more than fine with this tool.


Basically Leanpub hooks up to your Dropbox account where it drops a set of simple text files that control the contents, sequence, formatting and images for your book.


So to work with Leanpub, you actually open a text file in your Dropbox account, and start editing it. The Leanpub account is used only to initially create the files needed in Dropbox, to generate previews and to provide you with the means to provide marketing info for your book landing page (auto-created by Leanpub).


It is possible to start a book by importing content from your blog RSS feed or from a Word document saved in HTML format.


One other cool feature of Leanpub is its ability to allow you, as an author, to publish and start selling your book at any time, giving you the option to actually get paid from the moment you publish your first edition.


People can sign-up to your book updates via the landing page, and Leanpub collects for you their emails so that you can keep in touch with them, and alert them everytime you have a new edition out.


The final cherry on the pie at Leanpub is the "bundling" feature which allows authors to bundle together either multiple books of their own, or their books together with other authors'(and their approval) ones and to offer them at a special discounted price.


This option by itself allows book authors both to use a very powerful marketing approach juxtaposing their titles to other relevant ones, as well as to cultivate their own competence in a specific area to curate relevant book sets for their audience. Check the bundling feature in this video here: http://youtu.be/BGJoDImqSqU

Create eBooks in Multiple Formats Straight from your WordPress: PressBooks

Create eBooks in Multiple Formats Straight from your WordPress: PressBooks | eBook Publishing World | Scoop.it

Robin Good: PressBooks is a new book publishing platform, built on WordPress, that makes it easy to collaborate with an editorial team, and to generate clean, well-formatted books in multiple outputs: .epub, Kindle, print-ready PDF, InDesign-ready XML, and of course HTML.


"PressBooks is a digital-first book publishing tool built on WordPress that integrates a set of rules for encoding, transporting and storing documents in machine-readable formats, with emphasis on simplicity, usability and accessibility, particularly over the Internet.


PressBooks also makes a web version of all books — which can be private (for production only), or public (free or behind a paywall).


PressBooks, a Montreal-based start-up, is the brainchild of Hugh McGuire, a writer and web-developer and a co-founder of Book Oven, a cloud-based publishing tool that allows people to collaborate in writing, editing and proofreading a book, all through online tools.


He’s also the founder of LibriVox.org, an all-volunteer project whose aim is to make all books in the public domain available, for free, in audio format on the internet.


It was once hailed as “perhaps the most interesting collaborative cultural project this side of Wikipedia.


* Authors and Very Small Publishers can use PressBooks for free – we make great ebooks and typeset print books.


* Big and Small Publishers can use PressBooks as a lightweight, but extremely powerful (XML) workflow tool to output ebooks and typeset print books, for free.


The first book published using the PressBooks platform is Book: A Futurist’s Manifesto, published by O’Reilly Media.


"Along with O’Reilly Media, another big-name player seems sold on the project. Harvard Business Review Press has produced and published an ebook using PressBooks."

EPUB 3: What It Is and Why It Is So Important for the Future of eBooks

EPUB 3: What It Is and Why It Is So Important for the Future of eBooks | eBook Publishing World | Scoop.it

From the article intro: "If evolution is the cornerstone of life, that's certainly no less true in the electronic world. If you can't adapt — or fail to adapt in time — you're destined to join the ranks of the Netscape Navigators, OS/2 operating systems, and WordPerfect office suites of the world, as a warning to future technology developers that nothing lasts forever, and never in its original form.


In this light, EPUB 3 is more than just bug fixes and tweaks from the last version; it represents a major change in what an ebook can be. It's a whole new beast, you might say.


The ebook market has been going through its own kind of hyper-evolution in the mere four years since EPUB2 was released, and a flurry of new devices and document formats have come and gone in that time.


E Ink technology was all the rage in 2007 when Adobe, Amazon, Sony, and others were entering the market, however, and EPUB2 arrived to meet the new needs of these portable reading devices, with improved presentation capabilities, better navigation, support for DAISY accessibility features, and some advances in global language support.


But EPUB2, like its predecessor and contemporaries, remained a static format, in that its core only allowed for the reading of basic text and image documents."

Future Predictions for Self-Publishing And Ebooks Indie Publishers for 2012

Future Predictions for Self-Publishing And Ebooks Indie Publishers for 2012 | eBook Publishing World | Scoop.it

Robin Good: If you are curious to find out what may be awaiting indipendent ebook publishers in the coming months, this good article cum video interview should fill some of your expectations.


Key highlights: 

  • ”2012 is the year things get bad for traditional publishing industry”.
     
  • ...for publishers going digital the problem is pricing and customers think the price has to be low. 99c – $4.99 which in some cases still doesn’t cover the costs of all the editing, design etc.
     
  • Penguin opening up to ‘self-publishing’ is actually more like vanity publishing.
     
  • Kindle Select. It’s basically a way for self-publishers to put their book into the Kindle Prime lending program where members can borrow books.
     
  • Amazon moving into international markets. I specifically want India to come online as a huge English speaking market.
     
  • Advertising in ebooks. Authors will do it and Amazon is also putting ads on the Kindle.
     
  • Seth Godin with the Domino Project did get companies to sponsor the book and give it away for free.
     
  • Authors will also be able to advertise in each others books.
     
  • As indies getting on everything other than Amazon KDP, our options are Smashwords and BookBaby, that’s about it.

What Formats To Use To Publish your eBook in Kindle, Nook, and PDF Formats

What Formats To Use To Publish your eBook in Kindle, Nook, and PDF Formats | eBook Publishing World | Scoop.it

From the article: "While all of these publishing options are great, you’ll soon find that the formatting differences will drive you absolutely nuts.


Each format has it’s idiosyncrasies and numerous options.


You can literally spend days fine tuning your document for one particular application only to find that it completely changes when viewed on a different device.


Your book will look completely different on the small screen of a cell phone, than it does on the larger screen of an iPad or other tablet.


I spent the last month formatting my printed book, The Path of Consequence, for Kindle, iPad and Nook. It seemed easy at first, but as I viewed my document in the different formats I was horrified at the results.


Through trial and error I found some solutions and came to some conclusions.


Here are the three common formats and some workarounds."

From the article: "The release by Apple of iBooks Author last month begins a year that will see the release of several new tools focused on helping people to create, publish and track their ebooks.... 


That’s fine insofar as it goes, but if you’re an author or publisher wanting to reach as many people as possible, with limited time and resources to repurpose the same content for different marketplaces, iBooks Author isn’t a great help."


What's interesting instead is the fact that in 2012 we will see more and more tools that will allow you to convert, format and publish your content to ebooks on multiple and competing platforms.


There are several services providing this and more springing up. 


Not only.


You will have tools to track stats of how many ebooks are downloaded and purchased as well as better tools to write, edit, revise and format your ebook.

Fund Your Next eBook Publishing Project with Kickstarter | Lindsay Buroker

Fund Your Next eBook Publishing Project with Kickstarter | Lindsay Buroker | eBook Publishing World | Scoop.it

From the article intro: "Thanks to the e-reader revolution, there are a lot of perks to self-publishing these days, but one of the downsides is that you’re on your own for funding some of the basic necessities, such as cover art, editing (this alone can be $1,000 and up for a novel-length manuscript), and formatting.


Once you start making money, and have reserves from previous sales to draw upon, it gets easier, but lots of independent authors struggle to come up with the initial funds.


I’ve run into some authors who have used a site called KickStarter to help with start-up costs.


...


Last year, I interviewed Miranda MeiLin, an indie fantasy author who successfully funded her first ebook and paperback using KickStarter.


You can read the whole interview if you’re interested, but here’s a quote related to her KickStarter success:


"Forty-eight people bought pre-sale packages to the tune of $2500.


That paid for my editor, artist and typographer, and then the purchase and shipping of the paperback for those that bought the print package.


The $50 presale bought them an autographed paperback, the finished formatted ebook and a thank-you in the acknowledgments, but the real attraction was that they got the raw manuscript as soon as my editor and I decided it was done (the $25 package was everything but the paperback). I finished on August 31st, 2010 at 9:30 pm; the raw manuscript was in their hands 24 hours later."

Author Interactive Multimedia eBooks and Distribute Them Anywhere with Inkling Habitat

Author Interactive Multimedia eBooks and Distribute Them Anywhere with Inkling Habitat | eBook Publishing World | Scoop.it

From Paidcontent.org: "Startup iPad publisher Inkling has just launched a free, cloud-based, interactive e-book publishing platform, Inkling Habitat.


Inkling Habitat is a program for professional publishers producing e-books at scale, and a way to make a very expensive process more affordable.


Inkling Habitat lets publishers create interactive e-books with HD video, interactive features and 3D content in a free, cloud-based program.


E-books can immediately be published to iPad and the Web in HTML5, with updates pushed to both platforms at once. (Well, iPad is available now and Web publishing will be added later this year.)


Multiple groups can collaborate on the content simultaneously and every version of a publication is saved, so changes can always be rolled back.


The program is free, but in order to use it publishers must agree to make the books they create with it available through Inkling’s store (in its iPad app and on its website). Inkling takes a cut of the revenues from those books. Unlike with iBooks Author, publishers can also sell the books they create through other channels (their own websites or as individual apps, for instance) and Inkling does not take a cut of those sales."
