How To Publish An Ebook Without Going Nuts... And So Somebody Reads It - Alejandro Aguayo
who?
Hello
If you find yourself reading this eBook, then it is probably because you want to publish a book. Congratulations! You have already taken the most important step: you have made the decision.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Alex, and like so many other people I know, my life did a complete U-turn during the economic crisis. Just like many others, I had a good job that vanished. Far from being discouraged, instead I set out on a crazy adventure to achieve something that was still on my bucket list: publishing books.
Luckily I had a lot of help from friends I made on social networks. A lot of them have contributed to this manual and I can assure you that they have huge experience in this field. Some of them have published their work with traditional publishers while self-publishing at the same time; others have turned down contracts, preferring to go it alone; there are even some who have set up their own publishing firms, giving others the chance to see their works published. These are the indie
writers, the independent authors; the future of literature.
Years ago I had an interesting experience in this field. Along with a couple of friends, I set up a firm dedicated to publishing children’s books. Back then you needed to sell at least a couple of thousand copies to be able to adjust the price of the book even slightly. Fast-forward a few years and I was unemployed, so obviously my financial situation did not allow for such luxuries... And there was something called the eBook.
I did as much research as I could into electronic books, into Amazon, Bubok, Casa del Libro and other similar shops; into self-publishing; into how to create a logical table of contents (I did not know that illogical ones even existed!) and a tonne of things which seemed absolutely alien to me at first. I decided on Amazon for various reasons: sales volume, visibility and ease of use. I know that there are other systems, but in the end I went with Jeff Bezos and his store, and it seems to have worked out pretty well for me.
Finally, I published my first book. I came across so many obstacles in the process that at times I thought to myself that maybe this was not really for me. But on the other hand, so many people from social networks encouraged me to carry on that eventually I discovered this actually was my thing
.
Along with good friends such as Javier Muñiz, Largo Javariega, Mariela Saravia, Lidia Herbada, Roberto López-Herrero (to whom I am personally grateful for letting me use his blog for a large part of this book’s material) Blanca Miosi, Enrique Laso, Bruno Nievas, Gabri Ródenas, Blas Ruiz Grau, JC Küdell, Frank Spoiler and others, I have gathered together all my knowledge and all my blunders in this manual, so that you can find out how to publish an eBook without going nuts... and so that somebody reads it.

The eBook
An electronic book, digital book or cyberbook, also known as an e-book, eBook or ecobook, is an electronic or digital version of a book or text. The term may also refer to the device used to read such books, also known as an e-reader or e-book reader.
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
BUT WHAT REALLY IS AN ELECTRONIC BOOK? We have just read a very widely accepted definition of what an eBook is. It is an electronic or digital version of a book or text. Is that all? No. An eBook also allows you to store and add links to a great deal more information than a paper book can. In an eBook you can link to videos, music, other texts or directly to web sites. If you decide to publish your work as an eBook you can make your story a total experience for your readers. Let’s have a look at the visions of some of our contributing authors...
The electronic book is here to stay; that much is clear. Not
