    eBooks are great, I learned alot from the technology ones I read when I first got into computers.
    I imagine someone not into technology would think those same eBooks suck though.

    Likewise, I think "learn to make money" & "get rich" eBooks suck. But someone who likes to make money might really like them.

    I really can't knock what someone else considers "their thing", you know ?

    so that's like a monthly subscription to your eBook? we pay you every month and if we don't pay on time, you will charge us extra? :eek:
    haha, pure evil :D

    I read an ebook last night that I got a very useful technique from that I think can bring in another 10,000 a month or so. For the person writing it, it brought in (at his best day) $9100 in a day. $10,000 a month should be nothing in comparison if you apply it right.

    They're useful IMO.

    It's all about "eating the meat and chucking the bone"

    From the ones I bought on DP after spending about $50 on them I say that they are pretty much worthless. People promise little work and great profits but the work is often too hard or time consuming for me. 30 minutes a day is promised then when I read the book it says in 2 months you should be good enough to do it in 30 minutes a day. It is really annoying.

    You are so wrong, I'm not going to bother wasting my time trying to convince you.

    What I will say though is:

    - I have bough many good ebooks
    - Do some research before buying

    ...and don't be lazy, ebooks are not magical. Ebooks are information...which YOU need to put into ACTION.

    I don't like how they are marketed, I don't like how they describe how you can earn $$$$ yet the writer is trying to sell 5 to get $50, I don't like them.

    Ebooks are good.

    Selling Ebooks with resale rights is even better :]

    This thread is stupid.

    E-books provide INFORMATION.

    PEOPLE WILL NEVER STOP SEARCHING FOR INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET AND WILL KEEP BUYING THEM.

    IF YOU DONT LIKE IT THEN YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BUYING IT, PUT UP OR SHUT UP OR TAKE ACTION YOURSELF. IVE BEEN SCAMMED IN THE PAST BUT ITS PART OF LIFE!

    I go with this! It depends on your selection, the amount of time you put on it and most importantly if many had the same.. it means its sure to get saturated soon! So it would defnitely not work or may be yeild the potential it describes to be!

    Well.. good idea! If we follow this. we should go in the right track.

    The worst part of ebook sales here is, when many get it and start working.. soon it becomes satured and when new set of ideas/methods pop up.. its good for sometime until it gets saturated just like others.

    Good or Bad! eBooks are meant to give you start up guide.. they won't spoon feed ya :D

    I think glasshopper is trying to highlight the ebooks claiming to turn $1 into $10,000 overnight....LOL

    Is there a Guiness Record for the biggest Ebook claim? Imagine this:

    2008 - World Record - Largest Ebook Claim
    Announced by Russell Mulcahy (aka The DP Guru)
    Starting figure USD$1
    24 hour turnover figure USD$595 Billion

    :D
