Traditional photo books have dropped off significantly in today’s market. The expense of a large print run and the man-hours required to create, edit, assemble, proof, publish and print a book has become prohibitive for all but the very most well-known photographers whose name recognition can guarantee significant sales. Custom publishers like Blurb have stepped in to fill some of the void that has been left, but these “one-off” books can cost more to produce than many nature photographers want to spend. Photo e-books have the potential to be a game-changer for all kinds of photographers, whether that’s an amateur who wants to produce a photo book of his or her latest trip, the pro who wants to create a book of images as a portfolio piece or the passionate lover of the outdoors who wants to feature an important part of nature.
