    When you see the adverts for E books, make 1 million by buying an ebook for $1 and those Get 1st position in Google in 10 seconds and the likes, it is hard not to feel that the ebook market is mostly junk.

    yeah. the bottom line is, if the ebook says you can get rich quick, its likely junk. If it states resonable goals with a grip of hard work, then it might be good. Good reviews and good itrader help here on dp. I have bought ebooks, and written ebooks. I would like to think that my ebooks are good, as I state upfront that your gonna have to work your rear end off, its not complicated, but it does take work. But I have read some summary ebooks that don't explain things either. I personally take input from my readers and improve my books, and I blog about it so its ongoing.

    Basically if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If it has some good reviews and looks legit, then it probably is.

    Newbies come into the market every now and then and sometimes, they don't know there are some info that are free on the net and went on buying these knowledge. You can't blame the marketers for this. It is just like buying ABC books from the bookstore. :p

    Anyway, I do think that some ebooks are crap and it is only the marketer's way of making some quick bucks.

    it really depends, you need to do some homework/research before forking over your dollars (or whatever other currency you use! ;)). Best to google before buying or reading reviews

    Anyone who knows how to use a computer can publish an eBook.

    Hell, a highschool dropout could probably fake a book about rocket science to the right market with the help of Google and Wikipedia alone.
