BEA 2011: E-book Future, Google, and Facts
A very informative and thought provoking article. I love the quote "there isn’t an algorithm that can compete with a competent, real-life bookseller. “Hand-selling can make you look like a genius,” he said. “After just a few questions, [a bookseller] can say, ‘Here is what you want to read next’ ” with startling accuracy"
Just how do we replicate this in the electronic world?

The Killing - To be published soon!
The Killing - To be Published Soon!
Great news, one of the best TV series I've ever seen, the Danish crime drama "The Killing" will soon be published by Pan Macmillan.
One of those great TV series, much like "The Wire" that doesn't fit the traditional format of 1hr episodes with each episode having an ending. Set over 20, 1 hr episodes, The Killing is a fantastic, mutli-layered series, with each episode unveiling new characters, new twists and turns to existing plots and characters. You literally have no idea until the very last couple of episodes, and the surprises just keep coming until the very end.
A must watch if you haven't yet seen it.
Oh how I'd love to publish these in ebook form.....
