The most important lesson I can convey to book publishing professionals is that they must understand that those of us who have made the transition to ebooks, buy ebooks, not print books.

Search an ebookstore for a title and if it doesn’t come up, it doesn’t exist – no matter how many versions are available in print

The world is going digital today with the advent of modern technologies. One can see this phenomenon on the books too that are now being downloaded from the internet. The publishers therefore are making all possible efforts to make books that can be read on all formats.

Via Joshua Gans, Harry Potter fans can now get their favorite books in digital format. But not from Amazon or the iTunes bookstore. Instead, the exclusive source of Potter ebooks is J.K. Rowling's Pottermore website where you're able to get them in formats that run on all major e-readers and tablets.

I wonder if publishers can make the argument that the work done on the book as a whole (primarily editing, but the .pdf format of the eBooks are still a very popular format, so design & typesetting come into play) would preclude them from giving the author the final files to create the eBook with another publisher.

The number of tech titles available on Kindle gets a big bump. But the market is still broken in many respects. Read about the difficulties in formatting for Kindle and the inability to get publisher updates through Amazon (or Apple for EPUB books).

I love books as much as anybody. But I love reading more. It is the sustained and individual encounter with ideas and stories that is so bewitching. If new formats allow us to have more of those, let us welcome and learn from them.
