Introduction An eBook is an abbreviation of "electronic book" - a book or any text, poetry, short story etc that is saved in digital form and made available to read on electronic devices like a laptop or desktop computer, a handheld computer, a smartphone or a dedicated eReading device, like a NOOK or a Kindle. With constant ventures appearing in the field of technology, reading and writing a book is no longer limited to libraries and publishers. Self-Publishers are very commonplace in online bookstores like Amazon, because of the introduction of the eBook. Although an eBook is a digital format and it is not printed, you can easily have your eBook set to “print-on-demand” for a low set up cost, with companies like Createspace.com or Lulu.com, if you wanted to sell your eBook in hard copy as well in digital format. The eBook has made book creation much simpler than it was in the olden days. Now, you can easily create your own eBook at home, work or anywhere you please, and anyone can do it, you don’t have to wait for a large publishing company to pick up your project anymore. While some people like their books all wordy and technical, others enjoy reading an eBook that’s full of pictures and colours. Another reason behind the increased popularity of picture eBooks is their ability to teach and inform people through images rather than just words. Plus, picture eBooks are also helpful in teaching kids about a fact or a place. Children these days are maturing quickly and display the desire to use modern technology more and more. Therefore, creating a picture eBook can help them understand things and stories at a higher level. There are many opportunities and reasons people want to create picture eBooks, here’s some examples: - Wedding or Engagement Photos - Children’s Books - Family Heirloom Photo Collection - Holiday Snaps - Sporting Event Collection - Birthdays and other celebrations What are the main challenges for people wishing to create Picture eBooks? The two main challenges to create Picture eBooks are: 1. Finding or creating the “right images” or illustrations to use in your eBook; and 2. Formatting the eBook when completed to suit the various online publishing platforms like Kindle, Nook and iBooks. There are of course, other things that eBook creators may struggle with, including: - What to write? - Topics to write about? - Fiction or non-fiction? However, this eBook is assuming you have already achieved the above challenges and merely need assistance with your pictures and/or illustrations. Technically you could outsource all of the challenges, even the writing, but most people may prefer to do this work themselves and save some money. It’s no secret that publishing your eBook online can make you a lot of money, but it would be the exception to the rule. Most people make very little money from their eBooks, and some don’t even cover their costs. Therefore you may want to create some of your own illustrations for your children’s books to save some money.
