[This article is about print publishing versus the new type of publishing, electronic publishing. Learn how to get into the publishing market and what you need to keep an eye out for.]

Actually, "versus" isn't the best word. The two mediums are different, but they're not mutually exclusive. Meaning, you can publish the same book in both mediums. In fact, that's my goal. Each attracts a different group of readers and I want all the readers I can get.

If you're not familiar with electronic publishing (epublishing), visit http://www.closetohome.org/about%20e-books.htm for a quick definition.

But the best way to learn about epublishing is to buy some ebooks. If, like me, you don't want to read a book on your computer, print it. It's still cheaper than a paperback, and you can recycle paper and ink cartridge when you're done. And, by the way, print on both sides. It's better for the environment.
