ePublishing Content Management Helps Publishers Leverage e-book Distribution Service

Publishing is an ever-evolving industry that can be quite unpredictable to fully pin down. Just within the last few years e-books have largely replaced print material, saving many natural resources in the act.

Today, many publishers and distributors have invested in this emerging trend, offering e-book conversions for old material. Even some brick-and-mortar bookstores are willing to invest in these technologies to cut down on their operational costs as well as swiftly delivering books to readers.

Today’s virtual solutions have enabled distributors and publishers to embark upon an unexplored avenue that has changed how people read and listen to their favorite authors. According to Statista, revenue generated from the e-books sector is anticipated to reach US$15,635m in 2021. And at the current rate of 3.18 per cent, it is predicted to cause a market volume of USD 17,723 million by 2025. Many leading distributors, such as Bookmasters Distribution, are witnessing major growth from this change in distribution. The company invested $3.5 million in equipment and operating systems to keep up with changes in technology. Besides, Hachette continues to invest heavily in the modern solutions that have helped them win back Disney and Hyperion as its distribution clients. The deal has helped the French publishing company to leverage sales opportunities and decrease excess inventory at retail.

Why have e-books become the norm?

Pandemic has been a blessing disguise for the publishing industry. It has resulted in a huge demand for reading material. In fact, the Atlantic Council report seconds the above mentioned notion. Reading e-books has become a hobby for many that had more time on their hands stuck at home during the pandemic. Statistics provided by Statista support the abovementioned notion as it states that the global e-book market was estimated to be USD 18.13 billion in 2020, and it is anticipated to reach USD 23.12 billion by 2026.

Why should publishers go digital for their books?

Reduces Expenses

The biggest advantage e-books offer to the distributors is the cost-cutting. Through going digital, they could save thousands on print chargers, paper costs, and shipping for upcoming products. Because, when a distributor aligns its processes with epublishing services, they can eliminate the money that would later add up in the books for extra processes. Additionally, it helps readers to access the book anytime and anywhere at lower costs.

Expands Customer Reach

Another benefit of e-book distribution is that it helps distributors and publishers expand their audience base. The traditional paper books offered limited readers as they could be reached only to avid readers. The advent of the internet has enabled writers to self publish material in a wide variety of easy to access ways through blogs, Amazon, and more.
