    How do you keep a print book relevant in a rapidly changing technology domain?  Continuous publishing is one possibility, supported in O'Reilly Press' Live Editions.   See the comments for some interesting discussion with the authors of the first Live Edition book.

Stephen R. Covey Grants E-Book Rights to Amazon - NYTimes.com - 0 views

copyright e-publishing Amazon Kindle business model

shared by arnie Grossblatt on 16 Dec 09 - Cached
  • Amazon, maker of the popular Kindle e-reader and one of the biggest book retailers in the country, will have the exclusive rights to sell electronic editions of “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” and a later work, “Principle-Centered Leadership.” Mr. Covey also plans to gradually make other e-books available exclusively to Amazon, which will promote them on its Web site.
  • The move promises to raise the already high anxiety level among publishers about the economics of digital publishing and could offer authors a way to earn more profits from their works than they do under the traditional system.
  • Many authors and agents say that because the contracts for older books do not explicitly spell out electronic rights, they reside with the author. Big publishing houses argue that clauses like “in book form” or phrases that prohibit “competitive editions” preclude authors from publishing e-books through other parties.

  • Capitalizing on Oprah Winfrey's huge role recommending books to her fans, the iPad edition of O, The Oprah Magazine, that's expected in the fourth quarter will let users buy e-books and read them within the app itself.
  • Hearst sees a lot more potential in iPad advertising than just reproducing and enhancing print ad pages.
  • once enough consumers own tablet computers, targeted and tailored advertising will be much more important
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Hearst is already seeing its digital ad rates increase steadily, partly because of its ability to serve ads to visitors based on their behavior and demographics

  • drawbacks to e-books, at least the way Amazon and Apple sell them. They don't really sell e-books; they merely let me read them, and in the process remove my rights
  • But there are major
  • to do what I want with what I've purchased
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • The ability to give away or sell a used book is called the “First Sale Doctrine” in copyright law. But by sending me a digital file and tethering that file to a specific device, Amazon and the publishers have removed my right to transfer it, and thereby destroyed a portion of the book's value. By all rights they should offer me a better price, considerably better, than the hardcover (or, for that matter, softcover) edition. Is a few hours' worth of portability worth everything else I lose?

  • 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. Ebook reading device users don’t shop in bookstores and then decide what edition they want; ebook device readers buy what is available in ebookstores. 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

    Publishers need to recognize that readers are shifting to ereading, and for this group if it's not in e-book format it doesn't exist.

    FOR decades, even after it was renamed and relocated from its original home at Radcliffe, the Columbia Publishing Course seemed unchanging, a genteel summer tradition in the book business, a white-glove six-week course in which ambitious college graduates were educated in the time-honored basics of book editing, sales, cover design and publicity. Not this summer.
