You don't always have to write your eBook. You can use material from the public domain. These are books written a long time ago that have now expired and are free to use. There are some great lessons to be discovered in books written in the 1900-1920s - you can find books on all kinds of topics over at http://www.gutenberg.net There you will find around 10,000 free eBooks. These will be easy to read because they are formatted in straight ASCII text, just like all of your e-mail messages. This way they can be easily downloaded on 99% of the computers in existence. Being in the public domain means that anyone can distribute these eBooks without worrying about violating copyright. They are free to distribute in the USA however you may want to check copyright laws in your own country to ensure you are not breaking the law. As an example - a blog designed by using a public domain books (and audios - they provide audios too) is www.NewThought.me
