Wow!

This situation creates some unusual opportunities for ebook authors -- and byunusual I mean that this is one of those rare situations where you either get in now, or you miss out. Eventually the ebook supply will catch up, but for now the demand is increasing at a much faster rate. This is creating something of a gold rush for ebook authors.

The writing on the wall is too clear to ignore. This is a juicy opportunity that isn't going to last forever. With the rapid growth of ebook sales, fueled largely by the growth of tablet computer sales, this is a great time to get into ebooks. It's possible to see increasing sales for a while just from watching the market expand. This reminds me of the opportunity I saw in 2004 when I started blogging. I keep looking at this and saying, "juicy, juicy, juicy!"

I'm planning to stick with nonfiction since that's my strength, but there are some serious opportunities if you think you can crank out a kid's or young adult book. Teens and tweens just can't get enough of those vampire stories. :)
