- WHAT GADGET HAS MORE POTENTIAL THAN A CARDBOARD BOX WITH HEADPHONES STUCK IN IT? MAKING THE FUTURIZER INVOLVES EMBRACING NEW TECHNOLOGY BUT NOT LETTING ITS LIMITATIONS GET IN THE WAY OF THE IMAGINATION THE FUTURE OF THE BOOK IS ABOUT MORE THAN FLOGGING STUFF UNDERSTANDING THAT IS LIKELY TO LEAD TO THE FUTURE OF FLOGGING STUFF
- Iâve never worked in the publishing industry, but all through my working life Iâve been involved in opening up access to books and literature: in community publishing arts projects which aimed to help a few break into print, achieving the prize of a photocopied booklet of their work with a real ISBN number. Reader Development work which tried to coax less confident readers of all ages to enter the portals of the library and begin to explore more challenging books. We talked about âcreative readingâ as a kind of metaphor for the imaginative activity of reading books.
- I MET bob stein IN 2007 DMU ⊠OUR CULTURAL HAS MOVED FROM PRINTED PAGE TO NETWORK SCREEN â For the past five hundred years, humans have used print â the book and its various page-based cousins â to move ideas across time and space . Radio, cinema and television emerged in the last century and now, with the advent of computers, we are combining media to forge new forms of expression. For now, we use the word "book" broadly, even metaphorically, to talk about what has come before â and what might come next.â
- When I took an MA in Creative Writing & New Media in 2007, met Bob Stein, founder of the Institute for the Future of the Book and began to have the conversations that only a few had then but now the whole world is engaged in, it seemed to me that the digitization of literature solved fundamental problems about access and learning.
- WHEN YOU READ ON AN IPAD YOU REALISE âŠ
- Look around you. Everywhere you look you see young people staring at what? Their phones, staring as if they are longing to find something really wonderful to look at there. Literary culture can now be accessed on the mainstage of our culture. If you were starting out now to reach out to young readers, isnât that the place to start?
- AND I THOUGHTâŠ
- Campaigners for books and libraries sound like theyâre fighting A LOSING BATTLE BOOKS HELP YOU GET TO SLEEP SWITCHING OFF
- WE NEED LITERARY MIND TO ENGAGE WITH THE POSSIBILITIES Weâre working with the Poetry Society in the UK on a Young Poetsâ Network, a digital toolkit for young readers and writers. Weâre trying to clear away all the habits and assumptions we have about what constitutes being a âproper poetâ and set out a new landscape. We asked the poet Benjamin Zephaniah whether he thought the web was the best place for poets. You gotta get your poetry out there and nowadays there's lots of exciting, new ways of doing that, you can use the internet. Once when somebody said to me, 'how important do you think publishing poetry in a book is?', I said, 'well it's kind of important, but the most important thing is to publish in people's hearts'.

- EVERYONE ON ABOUT COPYRIGHT>> DRM ⊠HEREâS A USEFUL CURSE FROM RICHARD GAMESON, UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM
- Starting later this month, working with publishers Wingedchariot and funding from the Gulbenkian foundation weâre researching how six schools in London respond to picture books on the iPad, specially written stories translated into all of the 14 languages spoken in the school. Winged Chariot make beautiful books for the iPad, showing real concern about the quality of the reading experience, books to curl up with and get lost in rather than to play with.
- The poems and extracts from plays, novels, non-fiction texts and broadcasts in the HOTBOOK are presented as short films, Flash animations, podcasts and HTML web pages. They range from Macbeth's "Tomorrow, and tomorrow" speech to Christina Rossetti's poem "Spring", from Chaucer's Prologue to The Canterbury Tales to "Talking Turkeys" by Benjamin Zephaniah. They also include new commissions from contemporary writers such as Daljit Nagra, Cory Doctorow and Naomi Alderman, who were asked to write examples of the literature of the future.

- Photo from Tunisia LOVERS OF THE WORD MAY LOOK BACK AT THIS AS A GOLDEN AGE OF FREE ONLINE COMMUNICATION ON THE WEB ITSELF WHICH WAS RE-TAKEN BY COMMERCE VIA PUBLISHERS AND THE APP STORE. WRITERS ARE WONDERING WHY THE DEBATE IS NOW ABOUT THE FUTURE OF PUBLISHING NOT LITERATURE OR IDEAS KATE PULLINGER ARTICULATE ABOUT THIS (ENHANCED BOOKS MIGHT BE EXPENSIVE BUT ANY AUTHOR CAN MAKE A MULTIMEDIA WORK ON THEIR MULTIMEDIA LAPTOP))
- Letâs go back into the history of the book to help them think about the future: from the locking down of oral culture into papyrus scrolls, then the codex, first handwritten, then printed, now downloaded and digitally illuminated.
- Letâs talk to young people about the power of the book as a symbol of free reading and free expression, a bounded entity â worth pressing on with to the end. And letâs start them thinking about where the evolution of those ideas goes next.
- This photo of a man asleep in a library makes me smile but itâs also rather beautiful â it symbolizes for me what I really love about books and libraries: a special kind of dreamspace, a relationship between my inner self and the written world which is very unique, which is what it feels to me so important that we pass on to future generations.
- GUARDIAN: The growing popularity of digital readers such as Amazon's Kindle and ebook titles by authors including Stephen Fry and Stieg Larsson helped boost UK sales of digital book products by 20% to ÂŁ180m last year. The Publishers Association, the trade body that represents companies that account for about 70% of the UK publishing market, said total sales â including digital products and physical books â increased by 2% year on year in 2010 to ÂŁ3.1bn. Growth in digital product sales â including ebooks, downloads and audiobooks sold direct to consumers and academic and professional sales to schools and institutions â helped cover a 3% fall in the volume of physical books. The Publishers Association found the total value of digital sales from data supplied by members for its annual yearbook was ÂŁ120m last year, 38% higher than in 2009.
- Me? I'm spilling the beans. Here are my ebook Kindle numbers from Jan 1 to June 31, 2009. Whiskey Sour priced at $3.96: 550 sales, $341 earned. Bloody Mary priced at $7.99: 180 sales, $381 earned. Rusty Nail priced at $7.99: 153 sales, $341 earned. Dirty Martini priced at $6.39: 202 sales, $604 earned. Fuzzy Navel priced at $7.59: 152 sales, $341 earned. That's 1237 ebooks sold in six months. Total money in JA's pocket: $2008. Why do these numbers vary so much? I get 25% of the amount received by the publisher. Depending on the deal my publisher makes with Amazon, that can be anywhere from 62 cents to $3 per ebook sold. We can draw a simple conclusion looking at these sales: a $4 ebook sells 3 times as many copies as an $8 ebook. Now lets compare these to my self-published Kindle sales. I'll use my four novels for comparison. This is also for a six month period. The List priced at $1.99: 5142 sales, $3600 earned. Origin priced at $1.99: 2619 sales, $1833 earned. Disturb priced at $1.99: 1139 sales, $797 earned. Shot of Tequila at $1.99: 900 sales, $630 earned. That's 9800 ebooks sold in six months. Total money in JA's pocket: $6860. I get 35% of the price I set on Kindle, or 70 cents per ebook download. Joe Konrath - june 11, thriller writer in chicago
