Online Christian Ebook Self Publishing Platform

By Luisa Sharpe


An e-book is a type of book that has been written in an electronic manner. This type of book can be read in forms such as via the computers and also the mobile phones. The online christian eBook self publishing platform may offer these books at a price or they may offer them free of charge. In self-publishing, the author does the publishing for himself and does not include a publisher to do the work for him in other words; the publishing of these books is done on a private basis.

A book that has been self-published is said to be printed by private means. In self- publishing, the author is in charge of designing the book and also determines the prices of the book. The Christian community has embraced this new technology as many Christian groups and also individuals are now putting their books online where the normal e-book readers can access them and hence helping spread the Christian gospel.

The online Christian e-book self-publishing platforms are specifically created for the Christian authors. These online eBooks platforms make it easier, and more so cheaper; hence, possible for authors to publish their books. One of these platforms used as applications in smart phones and these other electronic gadgets is the Vyrso Android application.

One of the advantages of using this platform is the fact that Christians can seek bible references from these books since most of them contain biblical stories and are written for the purpose of spreading the gospel to both Christians and non-Christians. Given that most of these platforms are availed for free, most content availed is usually free whereby e-readers can access them at no fee.

The first advantage of the online platforms is that they reduce the overall expenses that are incurred if the book was to be printed or distributed around to readers. Christians from all corners of the globe can access them without going all the way to the book stores to purchase these books. Also, through these platforms, a greater range of audience is reached as Christians from all walks of life can access the books from anyplace in the world and this goes a long way in spreading the biblical gospel.

In addition to that, the books by the authors can be accessed by future generations for many years to come. Most authors prefer the online mode because it can be accessed at any place at any time by the readers. This is in contrast with the printed mode because some of the books may be lost by the readers and in the bookshops they may become outdated and be out of market as the years go by.

There are also some disadvantages that accompany these Christian online self-publishing platforms. First, despite the fact that these books can be accessed by a variety of people from all over the world; there are still some people who do not have access to these electronic devices. This is majorly the case in the developing countries which are not financially stable hence this becomes a limitation is they cannot access the books online.

Also, the books are exposed to exploitation by pirates where other authors can access work by a certain author and steal ideas from the work to write their own books. All in all, whenever possible, these publication platforms availed to internet users should be encouraged as they are more advantageous and easier to use.
