Thanks to a brilliant post on the Warrior Forum we got to thinking about the flexibility we have when publishing e-books for Kindle, Nook, etc.  When you publish an e-book and it isn’t selling you can change the title, cover, description, etc.  If something isn’t working then don’t keep doing it.  That is the definition of insanity.

If you have a published e-book then consider making some changes.  Here is what people on the Warrior Forum recommended changing:

• Title
• Cover
• Author Name
• Description
• Keywords
• Categories
• Price

Angela Hoy says that about 75{6d2d557e9d00bd0668d81f1c684edf6bee4f94716c136688ced4e9a613f7f134} of Americans don’t own an e-reader and some of them never will!  Publishing for Kindle and the Nook is hot, hot, hot but don’t forget that the majority of readers still want to pick up a book and hold it in their hands.  To read Angela’s article click here and while you’re at it subscribe to her free e-zine.

David Carnoy on CNet wants to know “With some publishers settling their antitrust lawsuit with the government, prices for e-books are expected to come down. But how much of a change will we really see?”  Read the rest of the article here.

I don’t know about you, but I spend a ton of money on e-books.  Practically speaking, I don’t mind at all because I can take an entire library on vacation (which I recently did on our Spring Break to Puerta Vallarta).  But I can’t re-sell them or donate them to the local library like I do my hardback and paperback books.  So there is a trade-off.

What do you think?
