The digital era has largely satisfied the cravings of an on-demand economy by giving everyday businesses and consumers greater access to products, services and expertise. But a major pitfall of this evolving trend is a do-it-all mentality that can and often does lead brands and companies to underestimate the intricacies of publishing an eBook. We know from experience, it's not easy.

Writers of all stripes agonize over storytelIing.
What is the right way to tell a story?
How can we consider our audience in a way
that will benefit them as readers?
A narrative is a thing of true love and burden. It
takes time, effort and a complicated thought
process. Which is why RosettaBooks and Hearst
put their heads together to curate a thoughtful
and engaging series of retrospectives.

5. LEARNING HOW TO TELL A STORY
In Car and Driver Iconic Cars: Corvette, for
example, we considered different ways of
retelling and reliving Corvette's enthralling
story by , ''highlighting the ups and the
downs ofCorvette's history of distinctive
designs and startling innovations.''
In doing so we demonstrated that
sometimes telling a story relies on a
combination of knowledge and expertise,
which Hearst possessed as Car and Driver's
publisher, and the know-how to turn that
knowledge into an influential narrative,
which we pride ourselves on.

6. TURNING CONTENT INTO PRACTICAL INFLUENCE
From Harvard Health Publications to
Mayo Clinic to AARP, RosettaBrand is well
accustomed to the process of using
content as a platform for life-long
practical knowledge and influence.
T he Car and Driver Iconic Cars: Porsche
compilation, for example, included,
''reviews, road tests, and comparisons.''
Telling a story is one thing, leaving a
lasting impression is a whole different
ballgame.

7. TURNING CONTENT INTO PRACTICAL INFLUENCE
•
Our partnership with Hearst in part
showed us that using pre-existing content
and repackaging it in a thoughtful manner
could not just entertain but leave a mark
on classic carhistory as a discipline.
Together we took a major leap into the
waters of digital publishing by introducing
eReaders to Porsche history.

8. USING AN EBOOK TO DIVERSIFY KNOWLEDGE
CEO of RosettaBooks Arthur Klebanoff said
it best when he remarked, 11These
extraordinary eBooks, curated from the
pages of the two premier auto magazines,
puts the history of these iconic vehicles
on display with sensational photography
and articles by the top writers of the day.11
ePublishing, like any form of publishing, is
best inspired by constantly putting readers
and consumers at the heart of every page,
word and letter. Ask yourself:
How can I best impact my audience? What
makes content appealing?
