Re: What (audio related) ebook do you want written?


Tough question... I still buy real books when they contain specific information that I need access too. I sure wish they were only $3. it seems between wiki and google most general information is already available free.


Coincidentally I just helped an old friend with some casual technical fact checking for his new book http://www.ethanwiner.com/book.htm  due out in a few months. he is obviously taking a more conventional book publishing approach.


I am thinking of doing a cheap E-book myself someday, not as a revenue stream but to publish some information that just isn't out there. In the last decade I have learned things about drums that are just not in the technical literature that I would like to publish, while perhaps it could serve as self promotion for my business. I already do too much writing for free on websites like this. 


About the only advice I can give, is ask yourself what book would you like to buy that doesn't exist? Or what can you do a much better job at? Perhaps write one about using inexpensive modern measurement systems to set up bar room or lower end sound systems (to appeal to a broader DIY audience)... I don't know if this concise information can currently be found in one place even for pro installers.


General information is already out there for free, look for specific solutions for specific real world problems, that people are willing to pay a few bucks for, but not willing hire a real consultant to advise them about.
