Welcome to the seventh post in a series of articles on writing, publishing and marketing your next book.

Here are the other blogs in the series

There is an ongoing competition between eBooks and printed book, and the race seems to be getting tighter now. Different people prefer any of these two for a number of reasons, and what they would subscribe to depends on these reasons. Your target audience would determine your best option.

Some people would prefer printed books because;

  • Some people are invested in building a library they can hold and feel, and it would only make sense that they buy printed books.
  • Some book lovers simply love the smell of books and will buy printed books for this reason.
  • Some people like some level of tangibility for their money and a printed book would give them that, better than an eBook.

Some people would prefer eBooks because,

  • Considering the fact that lots of eBooks could be stored in a small device, some people would rather this option.
  • Economic wise, eBooks are cheaper.
  • EBooks are relatively easier to carry around, with the option of carrying as many books as you would want to read on a mobile device.

No matter which option you choose, you can publish in any format from Composio. Which format do you prefer?
