29/05/07: Stop Press for May 25th through May 28th
- Kansas City bookstore burns surplus books in protest at “society’s diminishing support for the printed word.” – Not sure if this is entirely serious; there are certainly more helpful ways to make this point. (Also Leathem/Latham – coincidence?) (Via Maud Newton)
- PersonaNonData: HP’s E-Reader Concept “BOOK” – A pretty one this. Who wants to start getting me demo models of this stuff?
- My new start-up: BookTour.com – Chris Anderson (of Wired and Long Tail fame) teases us. Not sure what this is going to be…
- PC World – Sony, Philips Unveil Flexible OLED Displays – Not ebook-suitable (being backlit, not reflective), but impressive nontheless.
- YouTube – Sony’s flexible, full-color OLED – Video of the above in action.
- Burst Culture – Warren Ellis on flash fiction, SF, and why the web is another medium, not a replacement medium.
- You can’t stop a tidal wave with a fork – Salon article on outsourcing and the death of a publishing sector – largely, but not entirely, due to technology. (Via Times Emit)
