“What is an ebook?
“An ebook, short for ‘electronic book,’ is a digital form of a printed book designed to be read on devices like computers, tablets, or smartphones. Ebooks are vital marketing assets with multiple digital ‘pages’ that delivers information to its reader. In addition, they are often packaged as PDF documents so readers can share them.” https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/how-to-create-an-ebook-free-templates
Ebook Benefits
In 2021, ebook sales increased 38% for publisher HarperCollins, following a trend of increased revenue earnings for the company. Although this is a snapshot of one publisher’s success, it speaks to a more significant movement toward digital content consumption among marketers.Lead magnets come in many forms, but the ebook still reigns supreme.
They give the reader:
In-depth digital content in an environment largely overrun with quick headlines and soundbites.
Visual data that compliments the editorial content
On-demand access to the ebook content
Your business benefits from publishing an ebook, too. Turning a profit, acquiring new customers, generating buzz, and becoming an industry thought leader are just a few advantages of this type of content.
Let’s say, however, that you have a fantastic blog full of long-form content. Why in the world would you want to offer your readers an ebook? Is it even worth your time?
Here are some advantages ebooks offer content creators:
1. Unlike long-form printed publications purchased in-store or shipped, an ebook is immediately accessible whenever you’re ready to read.
2. You can put it behind an opt-in or “gate,” incentivizing your website visitor to become a lead if they want the information.
3. In some ways, ebooks have design capabilities like in-depth charts, graphs, and full-page images, which you may not be able to achieve on your blog.
4. After the initial creation of the ebook, you can distribute the file a multitude of times with no additional production cost.
5. They also have no associated shipping fees.
6. You can embed links to other media in the ebook file, encouraging the reader to engage with your content further.
Perhaps more importantly, ebooks offer several advantages for your audience:
1. Ebooks are incredibly portable and can be stored on many devices without any associated physical storage space.
2. The reader gets the choice to print the ebook out if they want to consume the information in a traditional physical format.
3. Otherwise, the digital format is environmentally friendly.
4. Ebooks are more accessible, giving readers the ability to increase font sizes and/or read aloud with text-to-speech.
5. They’re also easily searchable if the reader is looking for something specific.
6. Moreover, with lead generation being the top goal for content marketing, ebooks are an essential part of a successful inbound marketing program.
In this post, we’ll walk you through the ins and outs of creating an ebook by, well, creating an ebook. And if you’re worried about your lacking design skills, we’ve got you covered.

What ebook file format should you use?
Ebooks can be saved in one of several formats. Depending on your end-user, though, you might find a use for any of the following file types:
PDF:
PDFs are likely the most well-known file type. The “PDF” extension stands for “Portable Document Format,” and is best for ebooks that are meant to be read on a computer (digital marketers, you’ll want to remember this one). We’ll talk more about how to save your ebook as a PDF later in this article.
EPUB:
This file type stands for “Electronic Publication,” and is a more flexible ebook format. By that, I mean EPUB ebooks can “reflow” their text to adapt to various mobile devices and tablets, allowing the ebook’s text to move on and off different pages based on the device’s size on which a user is reading the ebook. They’re particularly helpful for viewing on smaller screens, such as smartphones and the Nook from Barnes and Noble.
MOBI:
The MOBI format originated from the Mobipocket Reader software, which was purchased by Amazon in 2005 but was later shut down in 2016. However, the MOBI file extension remains a popular ebook format compatible across the major e-readers (except the Nook).While the format has some limitations, such as not supporting audio or video, it supports DRM, which protects copyrighted material from being copied for distribution or viewed illegally.Newer Kindle formats are based on the original MOBI file types.
AZW:
This is an ebook file type designed for the Kindle, an e-reader device by Amazon. However, users can also open this file format on smartphones, tablets, and computers.
ODF:
ODF stands for OpenDocument Format, a file type meant primarily for OpenOffice, a series of open-source content creation programs similar to Microsoft Office.
IBA:
IBA is the proprietary ebook format for the Apple iBooks Author app. This format does support video, sound, images, and interactive elements, but it is only used for books written in iBooks. It is not compatible with other e-readers.
