    Devices such as the Amazon Kindle, the Sony Reader, the Stanza iPhone application, and many others are changing how people access books and (more importantly) how authors reach readers. This video is a reprise of my presentation from BookCamp Vancouver 2009 - it provides an overview of the current state of the e-book market, an introduction to the technology, and a summary of the session's discussion on the ramifications of this disruptive development for publishers, authors, and readers alike

  • Such encounters are becoming increasingly difficult. With a growing number of people turning to Kindles and other electronic readers, and with the Apple iPad arriving on Saturday, it is not always possible to see what others are reading or to project your own literary tastes. You can’t tell a book by its cover if it doesn’t have one.

    Interesting observations are happening about the need for the cover of a book with so many people reading ebooks the cover is less important.

    Virgin Blue has launched a revolutionary, innovative new process to check in and board on domestic flights via a traveller's mobile called "Check-Mate". Gone are the days of booking the flight in advance at a desktop computer, getting to the airport, lining up to check-in and getting a printed boarding pass, with the new Check-Mate process eliminating all paper boarding passes in favour of electronic boarding passes on mobile devices including mobile phones, BlackBerry Smartphones and iPhones.

    NEWSPAPERS and novels are moving briskly from paper to pixels, but textbooks have yet to find the perfect electronic home.
