Beyond THE FUTURE: E-Books for Everyone?

That’s certainly a hopeful possibility for the future of book publishing, though plenty of folks would rather stick to paperbacks and leave e-book bickering over formats, readers, and price points to Amazon and Google. But plenty of other industry players have entered the race to profit from the blossoming e-book market. As I state in a new KnowSomethingProject.com article “E-Books: Where Literature and Technology Meet,” there’s plenty to learn about the past, present, and future of e-books, regardless of what—or how—you prefer to read. Enjoy!

The Kindle has changed my reading habits. Today I started off reading The British newpaper, The Independent (.$75 download). It has Robert Fisk on the ground reporting on Iran. And I am reminded that I have your novel here to read, which I will do when I'm on vacation.

Hope you enjoy it, Hattie! Did I tell you one of my characters in my work-in-progress (my second novel) is named Hattie? Hattie Moore is her full name, which means "helper by the sea." It's perfect for her.

The Kindle has certainly impacted my reading habits as well. Will be interesting to see how print journalism vs. twitter journalism from Iran combined to provide comprehensive coverage of last week's events. K.

I have yet to read an "e-book," maybe I'll download one to my iPhone soon.

I guess the forests will be happy the fewer paper books that are published.

Print on demand publishing helps save paper too, Gerry. Another reason I'm glad One Sister's Song is printed that way...one copy at a time...no inventory to warehouse, no returns, no destroyed copies. I once worked for a major book distributor; it's depressing to see a huge box of remaindered books, all with their covers torn off! Let me know how you find reading on your iPhone. I've heard some folks don't mind it at all. K.
