We publish, primarily in ebook format for the same reasons we use hostpapa.co.uk as our web hosts, we are both committed to being green businesses. Everything about Vamplit Publishing is set up to be as energy efficient as possible. We all work in virtual offices avoiding the need to travel to a workplace and individually reduce the need to use any form of transport in order to earn a living. As individuals at Vamplit Publishing we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and we believe that epublishing is the natural choice for our beliefs. Most households now have computers and most people now have mobile phones and other ways of downloading our ebooks, so by buying ebooks each customer is becoming a part of a green publishing revolution. The production of ebooks is friendlier to the environment, and their distribution removes the need for transportation and therefore further reducing this companies, its customers carbon footprint and also the authors by choosing to publish in the way.
As the digital age moves forward ebooks will become as accessible as the paperback novel and just as popular. Already recognised bestselling authors, such as Stephen King are now publishing their novels as ebooks and established publishing houses now make their back catalogues available as ebooks. Ebooks offer the author and reader a chance to connect in a more immediate way. Authors can submit their manuscripts digitally to publishers, who can edit online and publish. Readers can now browse the thousands of ebooks out there and download to read immediately without having to pay for postage or wait for delivery.
The most advantagous thing for many people who read regularly, is that ebooks are easily stored on your computer or digital reader, instead of having piles of paperbacks covering every surface in you home. No more trips to the paper bank with heavy carrier bags full of paperbacks covered in dust. For any avid, older reader the ability to change font size makes choosing ebooks the sensible option, as large print books are often only available in hard back at three times the price and limited in availability. I recently tried to get a copy of a Zane Grey novel for my father in large print, the price was extortionate. I paid such a large sum because it was a gift, but I can understand why many older people only read books that are given to them or in their local library. As an older generation, who are becoming more internet aware, find their way to ebooks a whole new world and market will open up.
As the demand increases for ebook reader the price is coming down drastically. The BeBook reader allows books to be downloaded from any site and is not tied to just one bookshop. The price is a very realistic £199 and it is as versatile as the more expensive models available on the market at the moment. Whether you choose to buy a palm held device or just download and read from your laptop or computer, ebooks make sense. Ebooks can be made accessible to the blind, or those who wish to read whilst away from home; just imagine being able to take your whole library with you on
planes, train or automobiles.
