What is an e-book?

An e-book is simply a digital file that contains content that
entertains, enlightens or inspires your reader.

It can be 5 pages long or 2500 pages long. It can be a complete book
that uses all of the old fashioned elements of book publishing or an
e-book can be a truly creative piece of work.

An e-book could be a speech, a series of speeches, a poem, a series
of poems, recipes or series of recipes and "how to instructions. E-
books can also be short stories like Stephen King's "Riding the
Bullet."

E-books can contain sound; video and animation or they can resemble a
typical paperback book.

Think about all of the things you have done in your life. Can you
help people achieve success by writing about your experiences?

Create a title page, a table of contents and begin writing chapters.

Set up your pages like any other documents. If you use Microsoft Word
you can set up "hyperlinks" connecting chapters as you would html
pages on a website.
