  • rights hoarding is as damaging as market hoarding in any other business. His solution is a three-year renewal contract
  • but since the Publishng project exists more in the world of R&D, I’d like to suggest something even more shocking: Think licensing. Not selling.

  • Now Laurence is 6 ½, and while he regularly tackles 80-page chapter books, he is still a “reluctant reader,” Ms. Gignac said. Sometimes, she said, he tries to go back to picture books. “He would still read picture books now if we let him, because he doesn’t want to work to read,” she said, adding that she and her husband have kept him reading chapter books.

  • 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

  • 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.

    Interesting in that it reminded me to think about circulars as part of the newspaper, and what is going to happen to coupons and such.
