JoJaffa's Interactive Publishing

JoJaffa publishing...


... Interactive Information Built for Action!"
Creating the...eWOW!...moment.

"eBooks don't work! Nobody buys them and nobody reads them!"

True!

Really? Yes, the traditional eBook just hasn't got a hope!

The traditional eBook? What's that then?

Most traditional eBooks are simply re-hashed versions of their 'dead tree cousins' in electronic format.

These traditional eBooks work in the same old way as 'normal' books ie

  • you start at page 1
  • you read page after page (turning pages left to right - unless you are Chinese of course)
  • you keep reading page after page until the end - and then ...
  • you stop

Only... these traditional 'eBooks' are

  • harder to read (screen reading is reckoned to be 40% slower than paper reading),
  • they are harder to pick up (you have to switch your computer on first) and
  • impossible to read in bed, on the beach or in the bath.....

"But Hang on! I thought JoJaffa was an eBook publisher?"

..... a but different kind of eBook - altogether...

...you might say that a JoJaffa eBook is designed not for knowledge but ACTION!

"As a publisher I admire your e-book approach. It is superior to the offering made by many giants in the publishing industry who are merely turning their print on paper books into very boring e-books. I wish you well."
John Bradley

"OKAY! So what's the problem with these traditional eBooks?"

Alright then, let me explain...

Firstly, please think of a famous eBook...

...perhaps Stephen King's eNovel Riding the Bullet released in March 2000 (more info)?

But Stephen King is a NOVELIST - writing - naturally enough a novel!

JoJaffa does not publish novels as eBooks because we see no clear benefit for the reader in the 'book' being delivered in electronic format!

There are many other similar traditional eBooks. Typically business or internet related eBooks - which while they have great content fail to deliver any substantial added benefit to the user by virtue of being an 'electronic' book.

(... although it is true that these 'niche' titles are suddenly available for immediate distribution across the world - which makes a big difference if you don't live in the author's home country!)

But they still miss the point about what the electronic format can do....

These traditional eBooks are just 'radio with pictures'!

You see, the same thing happens every time a new 'medium' is created.

When television came along, all the TV station did was film the same news reader sitting at a desk speaking into the microphone - just as he had done since the days of radio.

It took many years for TV producers to realise that they had a new medium that made new things possible - so that today - TV news is utterly different from news heard on the radio.

The same thing will happen with eBooks, but, to continue the analogy, currently most eBooks are just 'radio with pictures'!

So here's the difference....

Here's what JoJaffa does:

- we take a manuscript and turn it into something special - something unique - and deliver it in electronic format over the web.

A JoJaffa eBook is literally 'produced' - just as you might produce a TV show or Direct a film. Quite a different process from 'normal' book publishing.

So let us give you three examples of eBooks - although we prefer to call them eGuides - that JoJaffa has published:
