What is a digital book
A digital book (also known as electronic book, e-book or ebook) is a lengthy publication that has been published in a digital format. Reading it requires a digital device, such as an e-reader, tablet, computer or smartphone. Nowadays most books are published in 2 version: printed and digital, but there are also books that are published exclusively in a digital format.

Whether you’re writing for an entrepreneurship magazine like I do, or a high-performing blog, or working on a best-selling novel, you always need a good editor.

Everyone knows the age-old saying “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover”, but we have to be realistic and admit that everyone does that. A great book cover design should make you think. It should communicate about the story that is between the covers, to spark an interest about the topic.

We found out for ourselves when we reimagined some of the best-loved novels from history as Modern Day Classics.
Whether you’re a fan of classic American literature like Of Mice and Men or prefer J.K. Rowling’s modern tales of wizardry and witchcraft, everyone likes to curl up with a good novel every now and then. Continue reading
They say that the age of the book is dead. Over 5,000 years of carving in stone, clay tablets, and paper has given way to ones and zeros stored in the digital memory of an E-Reader.
A student today in college can have over 5,000 books, which is the equivalent of 5 to 10 bachelor’s degrees stored on a tiny device that you can hold in your hand. Continue reading
