Innovations from Amazon and Apple have increased the velocity at which we consume e-books, but there are two emergent behaviors that will increase the rate of overall consumption."</em></p><p><em><img height="200" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/wpt/auto/1327206816.usr117680.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" width="300" /></em></p><p>Trey Ratcliff's personal experiences in both the traditional publishing method and the new e-book method is a good insight into how the e-book business will see fast growth and rapidly overtake the traditional method where publishing house rules. Trey starts with what it takes to get a book published and sold when a traditional publishing house is involved. He then examines the profitability of both methods and describes the emerging trends that he believes will cause writers to favor e-publishing. <em></em></p>
