3. My take on Henri Junttila`s book

This book is my first ever ebook from Amazon. Purchasing and downloading Kindle reading program was really easy. Overall the experience was nice and simple allthough I have difficulties to read from the laptop screen.

About the reading experience

I red the ebook called ”How I Made Over $100,000 Online Doing What I Love” written by Henri Junttila. This was published in the end of 2013 so it`s pretty fresh. The ebook describes what online business is and how does one conduct it. The book also focuses on the authors initial journey into the online business world.

The book is very honest which was the best part of it. It gives a sincere picture about the author`s fear to do something new and how he overcame it. This is the best part of the book. The beginning was more interesting. Towards the end the text started more or less repeating itself and reading became quite monotonous.

The book is written in very simple English. It is quite an easy read which doesnt tax the brain, but I guess this has been the authors intention, to keep the book simple so everyone, who reads will understand. It gives you an overall picture of what needs to be done to earn living online. And I can believe that it is easier to tell than to do. This also gave some answers to some matters that i have known but haven`t exactly understood.

Overall opinion

To be honest, I would have never spend 2 euros for this book if it hadn`t been for our assignment. But I`m glad that I did. I have red the book and i have made myself familiar with these type of online books. However, I am not sure if i would buy another, as I am more inclined to read hardcopy books pertaining to literature.

In my perception, the book has both positive aswell as negative aspects. I felt that this book dwells mainly on fast food type commercialism. What perplexes me the most, is the time and effort spent on online business pursuits rather than utilizing the same determination and motivation to carve out a niche for himself in the real world.
