Ignore the Doomsayers: The Book Industry Is Actually Adapting Well - 1 views

    If ebook readers succeed, will publishers be smarter than the music industry in the face of digitization and the web? Some guidelines on how publishers can avoid some of the mistakes of the music industry peers

    Thanks for posting this, Arnie. I've been watching the rise of the Kindle for a while. It popped up at various publishing conferences a few years back. As a reader, it does have some appealing qualities. But, the product is too expensive to go mainstream just yet, in my view. I'd be nervous to schlep a $400 device on international trips with multiple time zones/hotel stays. It's okay if I accidentally leave a paperback behind in a plane or forget it in my hotel room, but you'd have to be careful with a Kindle--it sort of changes my perception of reading materials when I'm traveling.

AAP Reports 2.8% Decrease in Book Sales in 2008 - 0 views

  •  
    No industry is recession proof, but a decline of 2.8% looks fairly modest by comparison to other industries. Caveats for this report - it's based on 81 publishers, and includes segments that had solid growth (paperbacks).

The book industry is gonna get Napstered if it forces Amazon to raise e-book prices. - ... - 0 views

  • Right now, the electronic-book market finds itself roughly in the same place the market for MP3s was in 1999, the year after the release of the first portable MP3 player.
  • But that could change in a matter of months if the book industry insists on 1) jacking up the price of e-books and 2) withholding potential best-sellers from the e-book market.
  • "Publishers are in denial about the economics of digital content,"

  • Does the book industry want to join the digital flow, the way the TV industry has with Hulu and TV.com? Or by its obstruction does it intend to encourage the establishment of a Bookster?

Behind the Eye: Upgrading iTunes Library to DRM Free is Not So Easy : Thu, 05... - 0 views

  •  
    Something from the music industry. Many of you may have heard about iTunes getting the labels to agree to DRM-free music in exchange for a new princing structure. But things are not going so smoothly in upgrading to DRM-free music. Looks like iTunes could use a solid analysis of its system architecture to see where the bottleneck is.

A Lesson in How E-Books Might Prosper - 0 views

  • Perhaps the most revealing thing about the "Dumb Money" story, in fact, is that everyone involved -- author, agent and publisher -- saw it as an experiment, the kind of small-scale trial run that a late-adopting industry needs to do a lot more of.

Writers Need To Stop Complaining About Amazon Making Books Cheaper - 1 views

  •  
    Amazon started life as a book retailer, and as a book retailer they made books cheaper. Then they were pioneers in the e-book industry where they made books cheaper. Their recently announced plan to give readers free e-book copies of books they buy in physical form doesn't make books cheaper per se, but it does give readers greater value for their book-buying dollar. This is all great stuff. But not everyone agrees. Emily Gould complains that "When ebooks and pbooks are bundled, the ebooks are sold at a loss. That's authors', publishers' and, associatively, non-AMZN retailers' loss" and "frustrating we have to keep explaining that ebook production is not free. digital objects are not made by elves."
