Description:


THIS IS THE ORIGINAL EDITION.    

An expanded 2nd edition is currently under development and will be released in Summer 2012, covering the explosion of digital publishing beyond the boundaries of the hobby games industry over the past few years.



ePublishing 101 is a tutorial on every aspect of doing business as a PDF publisher, covering topics from planning and production to release and marketing, and everything in between-- giving readers the benefit of the extensive experience of Phil Reed of Ronin Arts and Gareth-Michael Skarka of Adamant Entertainment.

This collected edition compiles all 16 issues of the original ePublishing 101 series released by Adamant Entertainment and Ronin Arts in 2006. The original intention of the series was a partnership between two of the most well-respected and successful PDF publishers in the game industry, to give prospective PDF publishers an inside view into running a successful ePublishing business.

I picked this book up and it truly opened my eyes to the world of e-publishing. This is a simple pdf; it contains next to no art and its design is no frills. But what it lacks in visual coolness, it makes up in spades with content. Point blank, if you [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
