E-Book Distribution Update

The e-book distribution system is up and running. Our FRP Publishing imprint loaded its first two titles, Recipes Worth Sharing and More Recipes Worth Sharing. Both are now available in the major e-book providers such as Apple, Amazon and Kobo.  We are also launching our first customer title this week and hope to have it active within the next two weeks.  An announcement will follow when it is active. (hint: only 1 of 10 titles in its category in the Apple Store)

While we feel that this e-distribution is a secondary strategy it remains important in an author's publishing plans.  As more electronic devices hit the market it will be a critical component in every book marketing and selling plan. My friend, Tim Creehan, who is a well known chef and restaurateur in the Destin, FL area told me last week that he definitely wants to give his customers the option of buying a physical book or loading it onto their reading device.

What are your thoughts about e-books?
