anyone here actually read ebooks?

i run a lit mag and i'm trying to determine if it's worth the significant extra effort to put epub & kindle out there.

they barely sell. i do much better with the print editions. i'm just not sure if the audience is small but loyal, or if digital feels like a bonus addon that people take but never actually read.

please give me your insights!!! i need perspective outside my own. :)

boost too, if you'd be so kind.

@pixelpaperyarn I love ebooks as a concept (my e-reader is more comfortable to hold than a dead tree book, and somehow I read books faster on it) but so many ebooks have terrible formatting that it's off-putting.

@Inskora thanks for the feedback!

part of the reason i put the question out there was exactly that reason. i spend a fair amount of extra time making sure the epub is well-formatted and i'm gauging whether that effort is worth it.

seems like it is!

@pixelpaperyarn Oh yeah, definitely. I think a lot of publishers just digitise the print master file and leave it at that.
