- Hugh McGuire: Publishing Is Dead. Long Live Publishing – A rather better response than the recent NYT post. Here’s hoping.
- The Penguin Blog: Design to get you hiding under the covers – Love love love Penguin’s new horror covers.
- Reading Pynchon on a Kindle | Booksquare – “Yes, piracy is wrong. That should go without saying. But, another thing we?ve learned from digital music piracy is that taking the moral high ground doesn?t get you very far. Sometimes it?s easier (and more profitable) to give consumers what they want.”
- http://www.bookarmy.com/ – HarperCollins’ LibraryThing/Shelfari/Goodreads/Bookrabbit clone, worryingly still ‘coming soon’ ten days after launch was announced for last week.

Will – you’re right – it’s gone live in the twelve hours since I posted that link. Unfortunately, it seems pretty broken to me. I keep getting javascript errors. Anyone else?

The base URL http://www.bookarmy.com is still a holding page.
The site clearly isn’t finished, lots of the functionality doesn’t work and as you say there are javascript errors – so I’m not sure they want it to be live……

No kidding. What an odd way to go about things…
