- O’Reilly Tools of Change (TOC) Conference: The presentations – God bless O’Reilly: slides, descriptions and more from many of the speakers.
- DRM for Books: Will Publishers Learn Anything from the Music Industry’s Mistakes? – Medialoper reports from TOC
- First Proprietary and Exclusive Novel Published By Borders – Is it just me, or have I been saying for a while that this would happen? Booksellers don’t actually need publishers, and they’re starting to notice. (Overstatement: but it reveals ramifications.)
- Connecting Books With Readers: A Failure | Booksquare – On the necessity of upgrading the technology: why Gutenberg doesn’t work any more, and why POD, or something similar, has to be the next step.
- Gilbane Publishing Practice Blog: Adobe Digital Editions – It sounds a lot better than the Beta I reviewed a while back. And rumours of a iPhone version are very interesting indeed…
- networked_performance: Amazon Noir – The net artists/activists behind Google Will Eat Itself prepare to free the books. Technically, this does appear feasible – Amazon Search Inside actually does reveal the whole book, whereas Google always withhold something… (via Times Emit)
- Businessweek: A Dogged Web Mag Pioneer – Apparently, someone thinks that, maybe, someone can make money publishing exclusively on teh Internets. Yes, it’s magazines; no, that makes no difference in the long run.
