There's no doubt that in the last few years, there's been a storm
of electronic publications hitting the Internet. These electronic
books or eBooks have grown with such popularity, that there's been
an influx of eBook libraries & stores let along traditional publishers
switching to digital print because of easier distribution.
With thousands of different eBook topics on the market, health
& fitness eBooks have surged in popularity alongside self-help
and get rich publications.
The popularity of fitness eBooks has emerged from the demand of
fitness enthusiasts using the Internet. But it's not just these
hardcore fitness goers that are taking advantage of digital advice,
many newcomers with specific goals in mind such as weight loss or
better eating habits are exploring the net as we speak to purchase
eBooks.
Before discussing more about eBooks with regards to fitness, let's
go over the basics of an eBook in case this is all new to you. If
you know exactly what an eBook is, feel free to skip to the next
section.
Basically, and eBook is a electronic book - a book that you can
read on your computer. It's NOT a physical book. We've had a few
people order our eBooks and received an email from them a few weeks
later inquiring into why it wasn't in their mailbox!
An eBook is downloaded from the Internet to your computer as a
file. Once this file has been downloaded, you can store it permanently
on your computer and access it anytime you want. All you need to
do is double click on the eBook file and you'll be able to view
the contents. Most eBooks come available in Adobe acrobat format
where you see a pretty good reproduction of a real book. Including
cover, figures, charts, tables, table of contents, etc..
An eBook can also be printed easily from your home computer. If
your printer is of sufficient quality, you can print a professional
eBook and store it into a binder if you don't want to read material
from your computer.
eBooks have proven very popular over the last few years because
of the ability to download and view book quality information instantly.
We often get questions from individuals seeking reasons why our
publications aren't in the form of a traditional book, or propositions
from hawkers claiming they can make us millionaires if we let them
have the rights to publish our book. We'll there's always been the
temptation to sell a physical book but yet again, there are advantages
for our eBook readers who are probably reading this article as we
speak. Here's a broad overview of eBook advantages in general:
• They're convenient — if you just need a page or two
“on paper” from a book — for example, a recipe
from a cookbook, or a procedure from a fitness manual all you need
to do is click print from your computer
• Excellent for research and reference — Print out
an eBook on 2 or 3-hole paper and put it in a ring-binder. This
is a much more convenient format than a regular bound book if you
may want to write in it and take notes, or perhaps carry just a
chapter or two at a time with you.
• In Adobe pdf format (Maximum Fitness eBooks) you see a
pretty good reproduction of a real book. Including cover, figures,
charts, tables, table of contents, etc..
• You can easily customize the viewing experience (enlarge
font size and style, change orientation on device, modify screen
contrast)
• If your computer is a laptop or PDA, then your ebooks are
portable. You can travel light, your entire library of ebooks is
portable. Much easier than lugging around a stack of printed books.
• You can acquire thousands of eBooks almost instantly via
the Internet without spending time browsing book stores with their
limited titles
• Clicking is easier than page-turning as you may have already
discovered.
• You can easily add multiple bookmarks and they stay where
you put them
• One click from the table of contents can lead you straight
to chapters
• Soon you will be able to have your eBook to you by your
computer!
• Popularity - Many recent titles are being published as
eBooks only
• They're easy on the environment - they save trees and paper
For those eBook junkies out there on the net, they have caught on
to the fact seeking advice from an eBook can be just as or even
more effective compared to purchasing a book from your local store.
When you purchase a book, you've got the information in one hit
and that's it! If you like the book and you're eager to feed on
more advice from the author you'll either have to join the fan club
or wait until the author's next publication is released.
However, on the net it's a little different. For instance, many
authors are offering online consulations with the purchase of an
eBook. In the case of Maximum Fitness, you don't only purchase an
eBook but you can have access to ongoing communications and advice
from the author himself.
"Who better to talk to about the book than the actual
author who wrote it?"
A word of caution though. There are those who feel it's necessary
to release a "Bible" containing pages upon pages of material.
When you're reading through some of these eBooks it's like the author
has dumped ALL knowledge throughout their entire life to please
the general population.
While these authors like to prove that they know the most "You're
getting everything we think you should know" in this eBook...
they neglect the single most important question - Who wants to read
500 PAGE book on their computer screen!?
Unless you're looking for fiction, most if not ALL eBooks should
be relatively short and to the point (around 100 pages). This is
what people are after, predominantly when it comes to self-help
info such as how to lose weight or improve your fitness.
A concise, step-by-step eBooks will go a long way towards motivating
someone to improve their lifestyle or fitness habits than a dictionary
full of content based on "you can do this, you can do that"
type of fluff talk.
When purchasing an eBook, keep this thought in mind:
"It's not about the quantity of content that counts,
it's the quality of content and how you can go about using that
content"
Basically when you purchase any type of material, you want to know
that the information you're getting is as accurate as possible towards
the goal you’re aiming to achieve.
