An electronic book, generally known as an Ebook, is the virtual counterpart of a printed book. It is usually read on computers or on dedicated hardware known as Ebook devices. The first Ebook content was the Declaration of Independence and was created in 1971. It is now stored in a database called Project Gutenberg. That database at present stores 25,000 free Ebooks with over 3,000,000 download each month.
In the past, Ebooks consisted of old novels from Charles Dickens and other classic writers, but with the advance of technology, Ebooks from contemporary authors are currently released simultaneously with the launching of the printed book. Now you can see people reading books on their laptops, and even on their cell phones.
There are lots of advantages of producing an Ebook:
1) Cross referencing is easier with the creation of hyperlinks
2) Ebooks do not require physical space for storage, with approximately 500 Ebooks stored on one CD
3) Ebooks have no “out of print” date which allows authors to earn royalties indefinitely
4) Ebook devices allow the adjustment of text size, which makes it easier to read
5) Various Ebook devices have text to speech software that converts Ebooks to audio books
6) An Ebook is easier to read, since it doesn’t need to be held open like a book
7) Production costs of an book is less and editing is much easier
8) Ebooks are easier to share and transfer, and acquisition is much cheaper since you can save on shipping charges
9) Ebooks save ink and paper.
Of course, just as there are pros to the production of Ebooks, there are also cons. These include:
1) The need for an electronic device to display Ebooks. Although Ebooks are generally cheap, these devices aren’t
2) Many people do not like to read large amounts of text on a display screen.
3) Disk failures and power outages affect your ability to read Ebooks due to its reliance on Ebook devices
4) Ebooks are sometimes distributed without approval.
As more people are switching to online businesses, money making Ebooks have become available to help newbie’s jumpstart their online careers and earn a passive income. Here are some examples:
1) Internet marketing has become an enormous industry. There are many Ebooks that teach readers the basics of search optimization and other approaches for driving traffic to a website.
2) People who love writing, there are Ebooks to teach writers how to start a blog for profit. Topics include blog monetization strategies and gaining an effective internet presence.
3) ECommerce enthusiasts can now find several Ebooks that will help them set up their own sites, as well as advertising solutions and suggestions on the best shopping cart software.
4) There are several good Ebooks that can teach you the business models for making money from Ebooks.http://www.eazy-ebook-money.com http://www.ebookmarketing.infozabout.com |

The culprits of rising western apparel prices
|
|
|
The last decade of lower prices in textiles was mostly due to the large quantity of exports on the international market, coming mostly from developing economies. Exports from countries such as China and India were mainly responsible keeping the prices of textiles low. From the late 1990s till 2007, China doubled its market share in terms of clothing imported by the US to more than 16 percent. However, as commodity prices are on the rise all over the world, the era of cheaper apparel prices may have come to an end.
Energy prices, the price of crude oil and stable foods have increased at an unprecedented rate over the last year. To the dismay of many people around the world, this is no sign that this trend will subside in the near future. Along with other commodity prices, the price of clothing has increased dramatically as well—especially that of women's clothing. According to Ezinearticles.com, increases of 20-30 percent should be expected in clothing prices in some parts of the world. Consumers in the West, who are accustomed to having a wide range of cheaper imported clothing—either made or assembled abroad—are in for an unwelcomed shock. This is especially true in the United States, where the dollar has fallen substantially against most other currencies. The depreciating dollar will result in more expensive imports and therefore even more daunting retail prices for American consumers.
If US consumers take a look at fine print on their clothing tags, chances are they will rarely see a tag that says "Made in the USA." Most clothing in the US and Europe is imported from abroad—where cost of labor, raw materials and production is much cheaper. However, inflation and increases in wages have led to increases in the cost of production in large exporting countries such as China and India. According to Emergingtexttiles.com, the inflation rate in China was 4.80 percent in 2007 and is expected to reach to 5.50 percent in 2008. The inflation rate in Vietnam, another large textile exporter, reached 23 percent in June 2008. Overall, the Asian Development Bank’s official for Asian inflation is 5.1 percent for 2008. However, Rajat M. Nag, managing director general at ADB predicts that it will be higher. With rising prices all over Asia, production and labor costs will continue to increase in developing countries. As we speak many people in Asia, who work in the textile industry, are feeling the pinch on their margins. In the west, the same effect will be amplified as textiles make their way down to the retail chain.
The rise in textile prices is partially due to the fact that rising food prices have such huge impact on wage-earners in developing countries. In certain countries, food accounts for 40 percent to 70 percent of the monthly spending of citizens. Thus any price hike in food in these types of countries, especially in that of staple foods, will have a significant impact—not only on expendable income, but also quality of life. For instance, food prices in Vietnam rose 22 percent in May 2008 alone and as much as 50 percent in other Asian countries this year. Wages are starting to increase to counteract the inflation and are thus contributing to higher production costs. In certain situations where they have not, workers in the textile and other industries have joined forces to try to force companies to absorb at least a portion of the price hike. Nike is one such company who was faced with large-scale strikes. In the end, they were forced to raise wages by as much as 10 percent in some of their factories. Higher cost of labor means higher retail prices.
The staggering price of crude oil is also accountable for the increasing apparel prices in the West. Higher transportation and shipping costs, of both finished goods and raw materials, will be dearly felt by the consumer at the other end of the price tag. However, textiles such as clothing and bed sheets are a necessary commodity; consumers will not stop buying these goods because they are more expensive. It will be interesting to see how higher textile prices will effect consumption patterns. Will consumers opt for cheaper goods or choose to sacrifice quantity for quality?

Massive Construction Projects Will Keep Steel Demand Strong in UAE
|
|
|
With growing economy that raised the investment in construction and infrastructure development activities, the annual domestic consumption of steel in the UAE surged from 4 Million Tons in 2006 to over 6 Million Tons in 2007, as per the new research report, “UAE Steel Industry Analysis”, from RNCOS.
The report sees the UAE as the frontrunner in the Gulf region due to its booming construction sector which is anticipated to see investment of nearly US$ 94 Billion between 2007 and 2009. However, the point of concern is the localization of construction activities to Dubai, but this trend is expected to change in coming years, with the entire federation seeing unprecedented growth, especially the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
Several large-scale development projects have taken off in Dubai to make the UAE a popular tourist and business destination. These include Burj Dubai, Underwater Hotel, Dubailand, Business Bay, Palm Islands, Dubai Festival City, The World and Dubai Waterfront. Moreover, these projects will not only keep contractors busy, but also build a stable foundation for long-term economic growth of the country.
The ongoing development projects clearly reflect the growing demand for steel, cement and other construction material in the UAE which has continuously maintained double-digit economic growth rate. Besides, large infrastructure and property development projects have spurt the prices of steel tremendously in the country. Continuously rising demand for steel has created a big market for steel suppliers and stockists who compete to provide a wide range of steel on demand.
“UAE Steel Industry Analysis” gives exhaustive analysis along with statistical information on the growing steel market in the UAE. It thoroughly studies market trends, evolving markets, growth prospects and investment opportunities in the UAE and GCC steel markets. It also provides panoramic view on various segments of the industry by correlating past market growth and key growth drivers such as economic performance of the industry, long-term metal demand, competitive structure and government rules and regulations, helping clients to modify their investment strategies accordingly.
The report also provides forecast on steel production by country, rebar steel consumption by country and construction industry.
