Online publishing refers to everything from running a set of blogs on the Web to publishing an illustrated encyclopedia available only online.
I went to my friend Mr. Google and asked him what's going on with online publishing these days. Here's what he told me. (Approximate quotes.) "Well, JG, there are lots of businesses out there who will publish anything you put in front of them. With electronic wizardry, that means for anything you want to publish, there's somebody out there who will do it for you."
"But Mr. Google," I protested. "I don't want to hire someone to do this for me. I want to do it myself. How do I publish my book online?"
Mr. Google wiggled his nose but said nothing.
So I'm still wondering. I can load my book on the Web in PDF style. Is that online publishing? I can put my book page by page in a series of blogs or web pages. But how does someone who wants to read my book open it with their pda?
My dream is to provide a way for my authors to sell their books online. I'll keep looking for tools I can offer them.
