An ebook, or electronic book, has a lot of viable uses for a website or can be offered as a standalone product and sold for direct profits. Shorter and more concise than their traditional, paper based counterparts, ebooks need to provide a lot of good information in a comparatively short space. However, long before writing a ebook, thorough research and planning needs to be completed.

-
Will you sell the finished ebook?

Ebook Writing Skills
The intended use of an ebook will determine the required style of writing. Ebook authors should be able to research any given topic and translate their findings into a coherent text that compels readers to begin at the beginning, end at the end, and devour everything in between. There is an art to ebook writing on any topic because, while some electronic books may be as short as 8,000 or 10,000 words, they need to be extremely appealing and condense a large amount of information into this short space.
The Difficulty With Digital Media
Ebooks are meant to be read on a computer screen, or even on a PDA or cell phone screen. It's difficult for the reader to comprehend information using this media, even though we are slap bang in the middle of the second Internet age. So, even though an electronic book demands a different style of writing to web content writing, an ebook author still needs to work with digital viewers in mind.
