subject: Free Popular Ebook To Enhance Readership [print this page] Free ebooks are books in digital format that can be the full or abridged version of the full book.
Most writers who finish writing a book now publish the ebook version of their work even before they publish the printed version of the book. This is because the ebook version can be self published and requires almost no capital to publish. Authors have no need to go to umpteen numbers of publishers and wait impatiently and pray that they would like their work. The abridged version of the book can be offered as a free popular ebook and the downloads can be analyzed to understand the public acceptance of the ebook.
The conversion of a book into its digital format has given a lot of power in the hands of the writer and taken away a lot of power from the hands of publishers. Now a writer can publish his work in digital format without needing the publisher to do this for him. He can have his own marketing strategy to make his work popular; one of them can be giving an abridged version of his book as a free popular ebook. Free ebooks or books in digital format do not cost money as any number of copies can be made from one master copy that is safely kept on the server. The author can give away free ebooks or books in their virtual form without the publisher recovering the cost of printing from the author.
If managed astutely the free popular ebook can be used as a tool to make the work of a writer popular among the masses. Apart from the writers effort to write the book, his knowledge, his talent and his facility with words, the writer has not put in any capital to publish the book world-wide. The ebook has given him the rare opportunity that was unheard of in the days of printing books, to make the book available to the whole world. If the author so wishes, he may not want any monetary benefit from it and may give his work as free ebooks or books in digital format for the benefit of mankind.
The free ebook can also be used to create awareness among the reading public about the work of an unknown or little known writer, his style, his genre and his talent. The reading public may then decide whether they want to buy his other books, which may or not be ebooks or not.
