I joined a Christian Writers' Group a few weeks ago, and the email exchanges of those members is quite exhilarating. Browsing and skimming them last night I came to one wherever
a writer who has vision trouble and can't see regular print books challenged the others to produce much e-books.
E-books are see on the computer, and the greatest thing simply about them, as I've discovered myself, is that one can enlarge the text so it is easier to read. For those who find even as that too difficult, it is possible to get computer code in your computer which wish see the text to you. I'm not sure how digital it sounds, but I believe in many an places that computer code is free to any who are wrongfully
defined as blind.
What appalled me simply about the exchange was that a number of writers had admitted a bias against e-books when this else member 1st asked who all offered their books in this form. The mental attitude still seems to be, a book is not actually publicized
until it comes out in paperback or hardcover.
I confess I've knowing too, that fiction doesn't sell as an ebook yet, although all kinds of marketing manuals and self-help books do.
Fortunately, once
this writer explained herself, the others rallied about with offers to help out. One said she'd lief offer her books to be see on tape if anyone could be found to do it. Another urged that we all consider producing our books in digital at the same time as in print.
Thinking simply about all this today, I suddenly see wide open doors of possibleness
for ministry and mayhap a business.
Here in Canada, I believe the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) is on the lookout for volunteers to see books on tape. They have a lending library by mail. The US has similar organizations.
All you would-be need is a nice clean voice for reading without unarticulate
or hesitation, and with a lively, instead of monotone voice. It wouldn't matter if you sat in a wheelchair, or had no use of arms and legs.
The same reading could be put on tape or CD. Besides the audio, the CD strength
have a graphics or flash movie version as well.
If you know, or could discover several web design skills, you could volunteer or do small paying arrangements with various authors to turn their books into e-books. If they have a website they strength
be happy to pay you a small commission on each downloadable copy oversubscribed alongside of their print book.
If they don't have a website - guess what - you have the skill, so offer to build that author a simple one or two page website to sell her books. All it needs to be is a terrific sales letter with ordering links at the bottom. You'd think the writer could write up that effective sales letter, right? You'd simply copy and paste it into the web page.
Should it happen that you have much advanced skills, or they grow on you, why not set up a library, or bookstore of ebooks? Market it specifically to those who need the benefit of being able to see a book on their computer.
Hey-hey, before too long even as those with 20-20 vision will move snooping around, praiseful
the advantages of digital books. You'll be a trend-setter.
The whole business enterprise earth is like it's simply had an earthquake, and the after-shocks haven't all hit yet. The dust hasn't settled on all the changes coming. Be a Mover and a Shaker.
