FirstyWork eBook Conversion Services
Happy New Year and welcome to the FirstyWork eBook Newsletter
Now that the Christmas and New Year celebrations are behind us we are looking with great anticipation at the developments that 2010 will bring to the eBook industry.
The news and information we have been scouring since our last newsletter suggest that this year will be the most exciting year yet for eBook readers, publishers and hardware manufacturers. eBook downloads have been extremely successful over the Christmas period and there is no reason why this trend will not continue throughout 2010.
Announcements
- www.FirstyWork.com is about to be joined by big sister www.FirstyFish.com where authors and publishers can upload their eBooks free of charge and sell them at very favourable terms of business. If conversion is required prior to upload then just contact us at FirstyWork and we will, of course, do the conversion for you. We look forward to reporting further about the launch and we expect this to be towards the end of January.
- We are also pleased to report that an increasing number of clients are coming to us after recommendation having tried other unsatisfactory conversion services. Please spread the word about www.firstywork.com to save friends and colleagues time, effort and expense. Its best to get it right first time!
