So you want to get your novel published, and you are trying on your own with no agent. You have a zillion options, and might even have a better chance getting a book published on your own anyway. That's because your agent is zeroing in on the big houses, and you can't. So you focus on the small houses, and many of them are eBook Publishers. Are you game for having your book published electronically? It's still published after all. You still earn royalties and often ebook royalties are higher than those of print.
But having my book published as only an eBook is not what I want. Sure a lot of authors go that route and that's cool. For them. But not me. I am really an old school type of person, and even though I do embrace technology and the latest in most things electronic, I do want my books in print. Sure, I'll eventually own an eReader of some sort, be it Kindle, or a Nook, or whatever else those things are called. And I won't mind in the least if people choose to read my book in that format. Heck, the more people who buy it the better, no matter what format.
You write to be read, and who would argue that point? So if anyone else chooses to be published in the "e" format or read a book in the "e" format, no problem with me. But I do want my books in the old fashioned print format. So, unless a publisher offers both formats, I am not interested. Fortunately, nearly all publishers I have researched do offer both. That's the best of both worlds, and I think the only way to go. For me.
