iBooks = iPad + ePub
Finally got around to watching the video of this morning’s Apple event. E-Book stuff begins at the 52 minute mark for about 5 minutes. And yes, eBook format is ePub…
long live the book
This blog is a companion to my book, The Book is Dead, Long Live the Book from UNSW Press.
You can download chapter 1 of the book as a pdf file here. Or you can get the p-book here! Or at amazon. As for me, I'm Sherman Young - and I'm a Media Studies lecturer at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.
Hi Sherman, Have you heard of the Blio? Seems interesting. Still no talk of library check out capabilities, but they seem to have more publishers on board (and many of the same ones) as Apple. It’s all moving quickly. Maybe 2010 will end up being the year of the ereader even more than 2009. I felt like Apple’s iPad foray into ebooks was a little hesitant. Wouter
