Most of the eBook use the PDF format but there are also other formats that can be used without many problems while producing the same results. The individual would have to ensure the electronic format used is compatible otherwise the information would not be able to be accessed easily therefore defeating the purpose of the posting.
The Basics

The process of successfully churning out an eBook is not very difficult and with a little bit of knowledge and research one should be able to come up with a presentable piece worth posting. For the more experienced and serious eBook authors this is a very lucrative revenue earning platform. The following are some tips on how to get started:

Ensure one has a word processor that saves information in PDF formats. Google Docs which is free, Microsoft Word which is not available for free and Open Office which is also free can get the job done adequately.

The next step which for most can be quite challenging is to be able to come up with material that is worth sharing or selling. This material has to be original in its content in order to be able to draw the attention of the target audience and to also create a sense of expertise and trustworthiness for the author. Copied works are usually not favorably look upon.

Print or save the written material in PDF. Deciding on a set amount of words would also be wise as material that is too lengthy can be off putting for some.
