Read this blog to find out and also make a decision about which publishing format is better for you as an author.
Due to its extensive demand digital publishing has widely gained popularity over the years and this year more authors will likely to shift their focus entirely to digital publishing. According to ISBNDB, more than 150 million new books were published in 2023 and most of them were ebooks. This number will continue to grow as we move forward in 2024 as well. As internet and mobile access grows among teens, the demand for ebooks also increases as teenagers find it easier to read books online without having to go to a physical shop, purchase the book and carry it around with them.

The answer to this is, ebooks are better. For a better understanding, we have put a table below which gives the idea about why digital publishing services are the way forward.

| Print books are heavy and require a place to store, this takes up space | Digitally published books are easy to carry and are not stored anywhere physically |
| Print books do not have any technological advancements associated with them | Digitally published books can be integrated with AR / VR to enhance reading experience |

| Not many publishing platforms support print books | Digitally published books are accepted by almost all the publishing platforms |
| The royalty rate for print books is around 10-12% | The royalty rate for digitally published books is 25-30% |

This is the first time I’ve worked with Book
Writing Cube and I’m happy that I chose to
work with them. I am self-publishing my book
for the first time and I didn’t know what to
expect...
To be honest I happen to come by Book
Writing Cube by accident. I was researching
websites that helped with self-publishing
and I clicked on it and accidentally clicked
on the chat icon. Someone responded and at
first I didn’t write anything back. But then
I decided to take a chance and the person I
talked to put me in contact with Mark
Rivera. Mark and his team have been very
helpful during this whole process. They take
my suggestions and show me where I can make
improvements. So far I am very satisfied
with the work they have been doing. I know
that they will do everything they can to
make my debut book a success. I am very
confident of that.
