For authors, ebooks allow them to enter unexplored market niches with a renewed freshness. It also opens up many new opportunities to meet their readers, which previously could only be mediated through a traditional publishing house. It is therefore not surprising that both first-time and established authors are showing considerable interest in the new instrument. This tool is also being used by many professionals to promote their business and improve their branding.

For readers, ebooks promise a renewed freedom to read (e.g. on multiple devices) and a greater purchasing power for the same amount of money, since many ebooks are on the market at lower prices than paper editions. The reading experience also allows an enriched fruition of the text, both in terms of formatting and in terms of multimedia of the reference formats (capabilities in many ways unexplored so far by digital publishing). Finally, there is a great advantage in terms of space and physical weight of books, since the number of books that can be consulted from an electronic device is only influenced by the size of the device's memory. It is therefore possible to have a huge library of hundreds of books at hand at all times, all ready to be used by the same digital reader.

For distributors and potential publishers, ebooks offer the opening of a new market to be explored, considerable advantages in the management of editions, in the updatability of contents and, last but not least, in their distribution capacity. The ebook should also allow a considerable enrichment of publishing catalogues, as several fixed costs that previously limited the number of unpublished works are no longer present.
