EOS-Book is a digital monthly and independent magazine (available in PDF, ePub and mobi) about Electronics and Technology, it is based on a
current project: an Italian blog called Elettronica Open Source.
Since 2012, it has become a
point of reference magazine in Italy for Engineers, Technology addicts/lovers, makers, etc, focusing on technical articles about electronics, technology and other subjects, such as mathematics, physics and astrophysics to satisfy our
readers' every need.
Readers
can find all the main topics together with other important subjects
such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Embedded board, Programming, Robotics, Science, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, IoT, Wearable, PCB, Android, Linux, DIY. It
has also a section dedicated to 3D Printer. How to choose a 3D Printer, is
an example of one of the most popular articles in 2014 for our
Italian users.

the following picture you will see the Italian version cover of June
2015 EOS-Book issue. With your support, we would like to translate this
issue into English.

The magazine is published monthly and and
every Technical Article will be available
on preview in a membership area of our Blog.
Thanks to the success in the Italian market, we would like to replicate the same model into
English with a specific blog and magazine.
Our writing and editorial team is made up of Electronic Engineers and experts with professional backgrounds in electronics, physics and technology. The
distinctive feature of our project is a direct feedback with all
authors, they are available on the blog for any request and/or to
elucidate doubts.

Our peculiarity
We have just talked about EOS-Book, but we would like to focus on our
distinctive feature: the direct contact with authors. This was in fact the reason behind
the success of the Italian Magazine and the distinguishing element
that makes it different from all other magazines available on the
market.
We would like to
duplicate the Italian model: our Premium Articles are written by Electronics Engineers and experts, before the pubblication in the EOS-Book, they will first be published in preview on the blog in the membership area.
Through
the blog, users can interact with all authors in the comments
section. The authors of the articles are available to provide any
information and to clarify any doubt.
Furthermore,
inside the magazine there are no advertising pages (so we are completely independent!) and each magazine is made up about 50 pages.
Risks & Challenges
There
is no risk! Yes, that's right! It is a crowdfunding campaign that has
no risks.
The
project already successfully exists in Italian, we just want to
replicate it.
During these days we are planning all articles and
focusing on the first release of the EOS-Book, our authors are
already working on translations. In fact, many of them have already
published contents in English.
We
are available in the comments section to answer to your questions and doubts.
