(1) What is your essential question, and what are your answers?  What is your best answer and why?

•  My essential question is how has consumers preference for electronic books most changed the publishing industry. My first answer is consumers preference for electronic books has made authors more inclined to publish online because of how easy it is and the royalties they receive. My second answer is consumers preference for electronic book has made authors want to publish electronically because of the amount of people who access to the online world. and my third and final answer is Consumers preference for electronic books has made authors more inclined to publish electronically because it proves to be more efficient and less time consuming for consumers. My best answer would be answer number two because I feel that it gives you the sense of how technology has really changed. Over the last century technology has taken over and the times are changing.

(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?

• My process for arriving at this answer is simple, I found research all leading to the same outcome. Many people in this day and age have access to the online world in many different ways. For example Our phones that used to be very dinky and now they are technological and called smart phones and they are connected to the internet through data and 

(3) What problems did you face?  How did you resolve them?

• Some Problems that I faced while finding out which is my best answer and through out this project is the material. I found that The material I was using was starting to repeat itself and so I needed to dig even deeper than before for more information pertaining to my topic.

(4) What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?

• The two most significant sources to finding my best answer to my essential question is an article called Growing Devices and another called publishing over the next decade. Both of these articles told me a lot, including, how the new expanse of technology and the online world has given publishers a new view on publishing. They also enhance the struggles and success of having their work online.
