    Hi All:
     
    I recently decided to write a book and make it available for sale via digital download.  The goal was to make it available worldwide, and not invest a lot of money having a publisher prepare a print version.  The big name online publishers either were very expensive to set up, or it was very difficult to use their online tools to make my book available.  So, I took an easier approach setting up my own website.  I am now curious what other authors might want to see in making their books available online.  These questions are arranged in pairs, so let me know what your preference would be in each pair.  Thanks!

    OOPS - It looks like I either set up this poll incorrectly, or I misunderstood what the box about allowing multiple answers would do.  It appears that this poll only lets you choose one answer for the entire poll, but it does permit you to vote mutiple times.  So, to answer all 5 pairs of questions you will actually have to vote 5 times.  I apologize for any inconvenience or confusion I may have caused with this.

    I would like to be able to provide my books in an electronic format, but
    a.) they are workbooks and the user needs to be able to write in them, and
    b.) I am quite concerned that electronic copies can be so easily duplicated.

    I realize I may be fighting an uphill battle here, but because self-publishing is so easy on sites like Lulu (and cheap, too, especially if you already have page-layout skills), I thought this was the best way to go for me.

    To spur interest, I do have a blog and give away articles I have written (see the signature below for links).

    BTW, David Pogue of the NYT had some interesting blog posts about this very topic recently.

    Thanks KevDev:
     
    Yes, I realize that the easy duplication is an issue.  Maybe I need to figure out a way to restrict the stealing without taking away the ease of use for the legitimate purchaser.  I would imagine if I could invent that I`d really have something...
     
    Thanks again!
