  1. This post is a teaser for a great panel coming up at Digital Book World but there's substance to it too: http://tiny.cc/2kI8e
  2. @evolutionshift http://tiny.cc/HzCQZ very cogent post about the "transformational decade" upcoming.Fasten seat belts.
  3. Happy New Year. Here is obligatory "what we'll see in 2010" piece one has to write or leave the futurists union: http://tiny.cc/6mfvt
  4. Robert Kirsch write 6 book reviews a week for the LA Times, edited the Review, and taught at UCLA. Was my prof. http://tiny.cc/5YuzH
  5. Howdja like to be in a foxhole with Howard Dean and Keith Olbermann?The liberals who desert and blame Obama piss me off more than the GOP.
  6. A lot of enews lately, but many publishers haven't faced the real problem: http://tiny.cc/QaklX It's about markets 1st now, not content,
  7. What else today but the ebook windowing controversy featuring S&S, Hachette, and Amazon? http://tiny.cc/KgSnF This battle ain't over.
  8. @LoveableLines Apple won't stomp B&T; it will benefit. The B&T content will sell like crazy for iPhones.
  9. MIght not believe this if somebody else posted it! Baker & Taylor has the next big thing in ebooks. http://tiny.cc/R2MDt
  10. This one is a tribute to a friend who died in October and who wrote more books than anybody you're likely to know: http://tiny.cc/ZNfAl
  11. @ebooksyearn Sincere best wishes for success with this, but color me skeptical (which is a darker shade of pale.)
  12. @ebooksyearn name in book is a fine option. Just very limited in potential. More? We have a multi-billion dollar industry here!
  13. @ebooksyearn If the "incentive" is putting your name in the book (your last post), I fear it has very limited application.Versus updates?
  14. @ebooksyearn See the prior post which was entirely about incentive for people to pay for the legit files. Linked from this one.
  15. A few modest suggestions for publishers that want to fight piracy. http://tiny.cc/TeBcv Extending the last post.
  16. A post to ponder with your turkey. On piracy and one way to beat it for sure. http://tiny.cc/LE6oW
  17. When the editor and author are focused on the ebook first,it will be a very different world.Coming soon, I think. http://tiny.cc/yq9Vz
  18. A really savvy and balanced post by Joe Esposito about Google and the publishing ecosystem http://tiny.cc/RyPrI
  19. Just saw that in under 2 minutes, 21 people clicked thru to new post from Twitter. And people say they can't see the point to Twitter? Wow.
  20. Three anonymous agents helped me create a blog post at lunch this week, tho that wasn't their intent. Thanks. http://tiny.cc/u2e1S
