| Publishers and self-publishers are having a love affair with eBooks. Ever since Amazon announced that digital editions were selling at a 3:1 ratio over print books, people took notice.

All publishers need to insure their books are formatted correctly in order to not alienate readers. The survey results highlight many of the concerns that publishers have with going digital.
