pda's or smart phones
for e-book reading.
E-books can be produced in more than 25 different
formats and it's the publisher's choice as to what format he uses. The
issue of
which format is best is still being debated and that debate will
probably continue for a long time to come.

There are three different types of resell rights
Simple resale rights.
Master resale rights.
Private label rights.
All ebooks do not come with the same rights - they may come with any of
the above rights.
The different
rights available
E-books with simple resale rights are cheap and no alterations are
allowed, also the books can't be claimed as your own. The only benefit
is that since the books are cheap, inventory can be increased and
profit can be booked on higher volume of sales. However, marketing
strategies have to be innovative and well thought of. The creator of
the e-book has the right to change the content, price, or just
discontinue the sales.
Master resale rights are more flexible and the reseller can set the
price at his/her own discretion and also display the e-book on the
reseller's sales page. The reseller gets the full price of the book
unlike in the regular rights, where only a percentage of the price is
passed on to the reseller.
Private label rights are the most versatile rights available for an
e-book. The
creators cannot limit the price and the source files are also included
in the private label rights. Alterations to the content are permissible
and converting the content into something new is also permissible and a
good option for turning one of these into your own product.
Maximizing profits will require you to research the demand for the
subject of the
e-book, the number of competitors in the field, and the amount of
effort
and time you are ready to put into devising a marketing strategy,
creating your own website and changing the product to suit today's
needs. As in any business, you have to research
before choosing the type of resale rights that will best fit your
business plan .
