But here&#8217;s the thing: even if publishers continued to sell JUST AS MANY paper books as they do today, ebooks could STILL start outselling paperbooks in a few years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span><span>Why? Because ebook readers buy more ebooks for their ebook ereaders. I&#8217;ve heard over and over that people who used to buy on one or two books a month, or bought used or borrowed books, now buy dozens of ebooks in a month. Not just because it&#8217;s so much cheaper, but it&#8217;s also much easier. The book is one click away, Instant gratification. There&#8217;s no nagging worry about where you will fit the book on your shelf or that you&#8217;ll have to carry it as you shop for clothes.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span><span>And you can buy the book even without any ereader. For instance (behold my shameless plug), I will gift a copy of my first book to anyone who emails me to ask for it, and you don&#8217;t have to have a Kindle. Or you could buy it for just $0.99 while the promotion lasts. (Ok, end of shameless plug. Forgive me. It&#8217;s my debut novel and I&#8217;m all excited about it.)<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span><span>The thing is, people often discuss the ebook\/paper book market share as though we are talking about the same pie. But if the pie gets bigger, it&#8217;s a whole other story.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span><span>Tara Maya<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span><span>The Unfinished Song: Initiate\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span><span>(Right now only $0.99 on Amazon or FREE if you email me)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><!--EndFragment-->   <\/span><br \/><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Literary Escapism: &#8220;I&#8217;m looking to sell books so I can use the $$ to buy digital copies of them.&#8221; Jill Corcoran: &#8220;e-pub does not impress me unless you have sold 10,000 copies, and these are not free or $1.99 type sales.&#8221; Holly L&#8217;Oiseau:\u00a0Good reason to not e-pub: You can&#8217;t be sold as a debut author [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/taramayastales.com\/bestfantasynovel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/taramayastales.com\/bestfantasynovel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/taramayastales.com\/bestfantasynovel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/taramayastales.com\/bestfantasynovel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/taramayastales.com\/bestfantasynovel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/taramayastales.com\/bestfantasynovel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/508\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/taramayastales.com\/bestfantasynovel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/taramayastales.com\/bestfantasynovel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/taramayastales.com\/bestfantasynovel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
