Nope, not at all.
There are thousands of books on hundreds of topics published every year, both on paper and in e-book form. Each of them has a slightly different slant. Your personal slant is what will make your book a success.
Let me give you an example: I know a fellow who wrote a stunningly successful book on personal finance called
The Wealthy Barber. There is nothing in that book that's much different from almost any other book on personal finance, but it's told in a folksy, easy-to-understand way based on Dave's personality.
It made Dave a very rich man, and made a lot of sense to readers.
