Some of the changing trends in E-publishing are listed below:

*E-publishing offers the right medium for the artists to reach to a wider audience and increase
their visibility.
*The author is freed from the publishing activities and has more time and vigour for peer review
and reader feedback
*Geographic distance is no more a constrain, the authors can now share their work directly
from any part of the world.
*It also permits the authors to self-archive the port-print version of the articles.
*The publishers help the artists to expand their digital presence, manage their content and
narrow down to specific niches.
*It provides an opportunity to digital assets, including text(for writers and bloggers), audio,
video, streaming media( for musicians), games and software applications that customers might
not be able to find in standard retailers,

*and works by new artists that would be unlikely to be profitable for traditional publishers.

*A mediator isn’t required these days to share their work as in case of musicians and painters.
This also provides an opportunity to sell your work directly and at a faster speed.

*The author can now convert a PDF into an interactive flipbook experience, including links,
videos and other features such as ability to add comments on published articles, usage statistics,
translation into foreign languages, downloading the bibliographic details in a citation and access
to other articles published by him. Further, the work can also be accessed on desktops, laptops
and mobile devices.

*It allows content owners to meet distribution, security, monetization and tracking requirements
for their content. Every aspect of the publication can be customized and branded. This is done
through advertising, open, pay-per-view, print on demand, through subscriptions and self-
publishing.

*Some of the publishers these days are Eastgate Systems, eMeta Corporation, InformIT, Ingenta
Mygazines, Safari Books Online, Zmags, The Google Art Project. They help in carrying out E-
Publishing.
