Identification

Digital publishing is often referred to as electronic publishing, and it involves the publishing of information as an electronic article, e-book, digital catalog or digital library for reading on the Internet or via e-readers.
Effects
-
Digital publishing has drastically expanded the amount of information available to people. Because it is easy to publish almost anything on the Internet, it has also created misinformation through articles and e-books that do not contain valid or researched information.

Benefits
-
For many people, digital publishing allows them to save money and time when publishing, because it can be done on their own without having to pay a printer to make hard copies.
Multimedia Capabilities
-
Another advantage to digital publishing that makes it different from traditional publishing is that electronic articles and e-books can have other media attached to them, such as music, videos and animated graphics.
Considerations
-
While the benefits of digital publishing may make it seem like the best way to go, having the name of a trusted publisher or literary agent backing any project greatly increases the worth of that material.
