  • Deseret Book placed eight books online for free download. All of these were “backlist” titles. This study tracked what happened as a result of those books being available.
  • The books were placed online September 9, 2009. This study compares sales of these books the ten weeks before they were available for free with the ten weeks after.
  • During the ten weeks of the study the books were downloaded 102,556 times. Collectively, the books sold 68 more copies in the ten weeks they were online for free versus the ten previous weeks. This was an increase in sales of 26%. Over the same period of time in 2008, sales of these same books decreased by 38%.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • 2009 26% -16% 2008 -38% -6%
  • Thus the increase in sales of the eight featured books in 2009 seems attributable to their being available for free.
  • Visits to the online product pages of the free books increased 1,085% during the study.
  • if more books had been available and downloaded the number of additional books sold would likely have increased.

    This website tells of a survey that was given. Eight books were placed online, and were downloaded many times. The results say that the placing of the books online for free helped more people to be able to buy the books.

    NEWSPAPERS and novels are moving briskly from paper to pixels, but textbooks have yet to find the perfect electronic home. They are readable on laptops and smartphones, but the displays can be eye-taxing. Even dedicated e-readers with their crisp printlike displays can't handle textbook staples like color illustrations or the videos and Web-linked supplements publishers increasingly supply.

  • Forget the netbook. It’s a slow, clunky piece of junk.
  • Ten years from now, we will look back at the tablet and see it as an end point, not a beginning. The tablet may turn out to be the final stage of an extraordinary era of textual innovation, powered by 30 years of exponential increases in computation, connection, and portability.
  • but there will be a steady decrease in radical new ways we interact with text.

  • Think of them as windows that you carry
  • Brian Eno once famously said (in the pages of Wired) that the problem with computers was that there was not enough Africa in them. By this he meant that computers as we knew them could “see” only the wiggling ends of our fingers as we typed. But if they could see and employ the rest of our body, as if we were dancing or singing, we could express ourselves with greater finesse.
  • It overthrows the tyranny of the keyboard.

    Will the Joo Joo tablet pre-empt the itouch - not sure, but it sure looks cool and that it can surf the internet 9 seconds from being turned on is cool. Also looks to be an "e-book" type device as well. (Wonder if Amazon will make the kindle app on this device?)
