Why do I write e-books?

I started writing in Junior School and I have never really stopped. Reading my early efforts later made me cringe. I never thought I would be able to write a whole book until I found a way round running out of ideas in chapter three. My breakthrough was to write a series of short stories and then link them with a common theme. This led to my first book, A Night in the Manx Museum (Published well before the film.)
I tried the traditional publishing route and had some interest but it never came to anything until an agent, who became a publisher, and never did anything for me at all, appeared. It cost me time and effort to break that contract and I have been very wary ever since.
Besides, I dislike waste. Boxes of paperbacks piled in a garage sucks. E-books are immediate, can be easily corrected if necessary and are good for the environment. You also receive more in royalties. What's not to love?
