The bread machine effect: Why it doesn't matter if most people prefer print «... - 0 views

  • e-reader buyers are likely to buy a lot more books than print readers, meaning they’re going to wield market power out of proportion to their numbers
  • those people who stick with print. They might enjoy old-fashioned reading more, but I’ll bet that, on average, e-reader owners get to do a lot more of it.

Kindle paperwhite : l'effroyable catastrophe - 0 views

  •  
    "@Thierry Merci pour ce test: j'attendrai la prochaine génération de liseuse retro-éclairée. Le poids et la réactivité sont essentiels effectivement. @Hubert La partie est peut-être jouée effectivement mais ce serait alors dommage. Je ne suis pas raisonnable: j'ai une liseuse et une tablette, plus exactement, depuis peu, une tablette 7 pouces et effectivement pendant un temps je me suis demandé si ma liseuse n'était pas devenue inutile. Et bien non: la liseuse reste le "lieu" de la lecture (annotatrice éventuellement). Trois raisons: - le poids (et la taille): je l'ai toujours dans une poche intérieure de mes vestes, je l'oublie lorsque je n'en ai pas besoin; - la 3G Amazon qui me donne partout la possibilité de charger mes livres, en acheter éventuellement, et les articles que j'envoie sur le Kindle via klip.me; - la faible connectivité (à l'importante nuance supra): je sais que lorsque je prend la liseuse je vais lire, pas jeter un coup d'oeil à mes mails ou à Facebook, etc. A quoi en rajouter une 4e: le prix, pas seulement au moment de l'achat mais dans l'usage quotidien, lorsque je sors ma liseuse je ne sors pas un luxueux machin qui exciterait l'envie autour de moi (dans le tram, dans la rue, etc.) et je n'ai pas le stress du risque de l'oublier dans un café, dans le train, etc. La partie semble jouée effectivement (et du coup il semble que Bezos ait bien joué avec sa tablette Fire) mais je ne peux m'empêcher d'espérer que ce ne soit pas tout à fait bouclé: http://www.idboox.com/economie-du-livre/450-000-readers-vendus-en-allemagne/"

Never Mind E-Books: Why Print Books Are Here to Stay - WSJ.com - 0 views

  • The initial e-book explosion is starting to look like an aberration. The technology's early adopters, a small but enthusiastic bunch, made the move to e-books quickly and in a concentrated period.
  • the shift from e-readers to tablets may also be dampening e-book purchases
  • The fact that an e-book can't be sold or given away after it's read also reduces the perceived value of the product.

  • Screen reading seems particularly well-suited to the kind of light entertainments that have traditionally been sold in supermarkets and airports as mass-market paperbacks.
  • Readers of weightier fare, including literary fiction and narrative nonfiction, have been less inclined to go digital. They seem to prefer the heft and durability, the tactile pleasures, of what we still call "real books"—the kind you can set on a shelf.

Dueling Surveys Say 75% of Americans Like Paper Books And 70% Like eBooks - The Digital... - 0 views

  • About 82 percent of Power Buyers (consumers who acquire e-books on a weekly basis) say they prefer e-books over print and nearly 70 percent of Non-Power Buyers say they now prefer e- over print.
  • If three-quarters of an undefined survey group likes paper but a majority of the actual customer base likes digital, what are the chances that most of that 75% don’t buy very many books in the first place?

Reading ebooks on your phone- why do it? - Mobile Technology News - 1 views

  • There is nothing better than finding an unexpected five minute window open up that can be spent enjoying a good book.
  • The key to the unexpected free time scenario I mentioned is that I must have the reader with me at all times.  My experience has taught me that the only way I can guarantee always having the reader with me is if it lives in my cell phone.
  • in the first two weeks of iPhone ownership I had read six books on it
