Electronic publishing, often referred to as e-publishing or digital publishing, is the process of producing and distributing content digitally rather than through traditional print media. This modern approach to publishing has transformed industries like books, magazines, newspapers, academic journals, and multimedia, making content more accessible, interactive, and instantly available worldwide.

Whether you’re an author, publisher, educator, or marketer, understanding electronic publishing is essential to thriving in today’s digital age.

What Is Electronic Publishing?

Electronic publishing involves creating, formatting, and distributing digital content that can be accessed on electronic devices such as e-readers, tablets, smartphones, and computers.

  • PDF: Fixed layout format ideal for documents and magazines.
  • MOBI: Amazon Kindle’s proprietary e-book format.
