Steve Weber's little book on ePublishing is somewhat out of date, but the overall content is still relevant, especially to those new to the ePublishing scene.

Basically, what Weber does in his book is present all of the options for publishing, promoting, marketing and packaging your eBook. He does so in short sections, which are both easy to read and very much to the point. The websites he mentions (those that are still up and running) are useful, informative and, because they haven't gone belly up since Weber first published this book, successful. (Online longevity is a good way to judge reliability.)

Weber's suggestions for putting up an author's website, and for utilizing alternative tools which most writers don't think of (like podcasts and book trailers) are invaluable. (Writers almost uniformly focus on getting the words on paper, not on broadcasting them.) He also provides great sources for tracking your website's visibility, assessing your competition (Amazon, Amazon, Amazon), and for breaking into print. (Weber has some choice words to say about POD.)

If you already own the 2009 edition, you won't find much new here. But, if you haven't read anything by Weber yet, this book is a painless way to get the basics of ePublishing.

Not as dated as his other ebook 'Plug Your Book', I found some good suggestions in this one.

For example he lists many sites where you can submit your book for viewing and many networking sites for authors.

Anyone who's interesting in epublishing should give it a look (it is free after all), especially if you're new and haven't done much research, this is as good a place as any to start.

This is a must-have book for anyone who is considering self-publishing either electronically or on paper. It's only 100 pages, but there is so much info, it will be sure to pay off for you.
