The Advantages of Digital Publishing

 

Digital publishing, also known as electronic publishing, has taken the world by storm. With more and more people having access to the internet, this has now become a more than viable way for aspiring authors to get their work into circulation

Digital publishing is not limited to ebooks, but hard copy books can also be published      using digital technology. The time and cost saver is that an electronic file (very often a PDF file) is sent to the printer, and a hard copy book is printed from this file

 Reduction in costs

Traditional publishing is expensive. Just for starters, paper and printing costs can already run to a sizeable amount. One of the advantages of digital publishing ebooks is that these costs are cut out completely.

If you have a computer you can digitally publish unlimited copies of your work in a format like the popular PDF. The only costs that may come into play could be a once-off fee for appropriate software, as well as minor web server charges, depending on your choice of distribution.

Publishing your book as hard copy means you do not need to order thousands of books, but rather the book is printed when a customre orders it. Big cost saving.

Easy distribution and delivery

With printed publications, actually getting your work printed is just the beginning. From here you have distribution and delivery costs. Another major advantage of digital publishing is that all these costs yet again are reduced or just fall away, in the case of ebooks
