Electronic Publishers
Revision as of 02:41, 19 February 2006 by Romancewiki (talk | contribs)
Electronic publishers such as Ellora's Cave or Hard Shell Word Factory publish and distribute their books primarily online. Electronic books are generally made available to readers via download or on disk. Readers can then read the book at their computer or print the book themselves. These books are known as e-books.
Though romance novels have been available as e-books since at least 1998, there has been a strong push by traditional publishers to offer their more erotic lines as e-books. For example, Avon Red will be available as e-books as well. Conversely, Ellora's Cave, which started out as a purely electronic publisher, is now making its books available in traditional retail outlets such as Barnes and Noble.
