    About this ebook

    You wrote a book. Very nice. But you didn't write to keep it for you. You should publish it. The problem is that the publishers charge high prices for some authors pockets, and do it objectively, due to the high cost of printing.

    But you allowed that luxury, and now you have a printed book, with you as the author. You can keep hundreds or thousands of volumes in your personal library and give it as a gift to your friends in special occasions, or try to distribute in various libraries. You managed to distribute it, the book is beautifully placed in shelves. In time, dust is spread on covers. After a while, the book is withdrawn. It remains to use it as decoration at home, or support for various household items.

    But lucky for you, there is an alternative, cheaper and more effective, in selling your book: e-Books!

    e-Book and online publishing market has evolved rapidly in recent years, and a lot of companies have entered this market, as publishers, online bookstores, or promoting e-books.

      e-Book and online publishing market has evolved rapidly in recent years, and a lot of companies have entered this market, as publishers, online bookstores, or promoting e-books.

      Books

      A book is a written document forming a unit and designated as such, containing pages of paper or cardboard connected to each other.

      The book is defined by Littre as a meeting of several sheets for supporting a manuscript or printed text. In his New Universal Dictionary (1870 edition), Maurice Lachâtre defined it as assembly of several sheets of paper, vellum, parchment, printed or hand-written and sewn together forming a volume covered with a sheet of paper, cardboard, parchment, sheepskin, calf, morocco, etc.

      As for the academic definitions:

      Assembly of handwritten or printed sheets to be read. In antiquity and the Middle Ages, following handwritten sheets together in a band wrapped around a cylinder, or folded and stitched booklets. In modern times, assembly of printed paper sheets, forming a bound or unbound.

      Associating sheets, register where various information is worn, various evidence.

      A more technical definition is given by Unesco: non-periodical printed publication of at least 49 pages, cover pages, published in the country and made available to the public.

      A physical description of the book can retain the following three functions: support of writing, dissemination, and preservation of varied texts, transportability. At the hardware level, a book is a volume of bound pages, with texts under a common title page. The form induces a linear organization (pagination, chapters, etc.). It also includes access to snap tool (index). There are a lot of books by genre, intellectual structuring, recipients, according to the method of manufacture and formats, depending on usage. Exceptions, such as the artist's book, a book is published in multiple copies by a publisher, as evidenced by the identifiers that is included mandatory.

      In intellectual work designed by an author, the book serves as an interface with a reader and extends communication capabilities beyond space and time. Cultural objects for human history, it helps to convey meaning in a particular physical form. For the reader, a book is an extension of memory and imagination.

      The Book Science

      The science of the book is called Bibliology; it relates the history of the book and its manufacturing, distribution and conservation. The study of the book, in its part has many economic, sociological, political and ideological aspects: the book as a product (technical, publishing, broadcasting opportunities or not, etc.), as a work (aesthetics its binding, for example), etc. Furthermore, reading is the usual purpose of the book, adding a sociology and history of reading (public and private libraries, how to read ...). Other sciences are also interested in the book:

      bibliometrics;

      codicology;

      paleography.
