2009 Cadillac XLR<\/p><\/div>\n

First, eBooks can be very portable, so they are easy to grab and read on a plane, or other (gasp!) internet poor location.\u00a0 Second, I find that I am willing to be more thorough on a topic in an eBook.\u00a0 For a Blog entry I have in mind a certain length that is a good read — which I usually \/ often break.\u00a0\u00a0 An eBook can by its nature be longer and use more pages to cover the subject.\u00a0 So as in the case with the XLR blog entry, after I set it up as an eBook I found a lot more to be said on the subject; so far it is 16 pages of info, and perhaps will wrap up at 25-30 pages.\u00a0 My intuition is that 30-50 pages is about right.<\/p>\n

My thinking is that these eBooks would be free to Caddyinfo.com Supporters, and perhaps $10-15 each for anyone else.\u00a0\u00a0 Each Caddyinfo eBook would be designed to cover a specific Cadillac-related subject in depth.\u00a0 I think they will be a niche product, but focused on Cadillac information for automobile enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

For the first one I setup the eBook in OpenOffice Writer, then exported it as an Adobe PDF file.\u00a0 I am happy with that process for control, and ease of use both for setup \/ layout and production.\u00a0 I will explore other mobile book formats as we go to see what we need to support.<\/p>\n
