Self-publishing e-books has seen dramatic growth recently. Authors are bypassing the standard book publishers to publish their work online in various formats like hardcover, paperback and e-book. Sites like Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing, Barnes & Noble's Pubit, Scribd and Lulu all offer e-book publication. Users upload their content, create a cover, set a price and put the book on sale. Self-publishing sites provide two ways to cover an e-book, create your own artwork or use theirs.
