Recent changes to the royalty payout to the authors of ebooks has led me to wonder – is it really worth it to go through a conventional publishing house if you do eBooks? Why not start your own company and sell your eBooks independently? Given the substantially reduced (read: nonexistent) material costs of electronic publication one has to wonder what value is being contributed by these publishers? Being a neophyte to the world of online publishing, I don’t claim to have any insight as to how extensively these publishing houses promote their ebooks, but it seems more logical to me to control the means of distribution and all the profits.

Greg:
E-books are still gaining credibility in the market. I think I would check out some e-books on Amazon and see if they are any good. Your reputation as a writer is the most important thing in your ability to sell your work. You don't want to link up with a bunch of losers who can't get their books published any other way.
