The rise of e-books and e-publishing has had a significant impact on the way that book clubs, including mystery and thriller book clubs, operate. Here are a few ways in which e-books and e-publishing have impacted book clubs:
Increased accessibility: E-books and e-publishing have made it easier for book club members to access the selected book, regardless of their location. Members can download the book to their e-reader or phone, making it more convenient for them to participate in book club meetings.
More options for self-published and indie authors: E-publishing has made it easier for self-published and indie authors to get their work out to the public, which can result in more diverse and unique books being available for book clubs to choose from.
More discussion about e-books and e-publishing: With the rise of e-books, book clubs may have more discussions about the pros and cons of e-books and e-publishing and how it is affecting the industry.
Flexibility in meeting times: With e-books, members can read the book at their own pace, and schedule a meeting time that works for most of the members, regardless of the location.
Saving on costs: With e-books, book clubs can save on costs associated with buying and shipping physical copies of the book.
Audible integration: Some book clubs may also incorporate audiobooks as an option, which can be convenient for members who prefer listening to books rather than reading them.
