		<description><![CDATA[Over on the Penguin blog, author Nick Hornby writes of his encounter with an iliad in Borders:
It was a quiet Monday morning, and there didn’t seem to be too much interest in the four hundred quid e-book reader; what was striking, though, was that there didn’t seem to be too much interest in the four [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always maintained that the e-book piracy scene is relatively small, although (as David Pogue suggested recently) it can be significant in certain market segments. One of those is textbooks, which students are often compelled to buy for relatively high prices. It seems that this opportunity for sharing has been embraced by some - a Chronicle [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a bit of a debate happening about Chris Anderson&#8217;s Long Tail theory after the Harvard Business Review did a bit of a critique. Not going to rehash the points made here - it&#8217;s all summarised nicely in this Techdirt piece. Which nicely points this out:
Even more to the point is that the concept of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I did a presentation for the NSW Editors Society a few weeks ago, which sparked a few thoughts. In particular I (very broadly) canvassed some ideas about the motivation for book publishers to get on book the e-thing. As usual, I drew some analogies with the music business

		<description><![CDATA[Quick pointer to Mike Cane&#8217;s rant for the day:
Writers are dying — dying! — out there in the printed paper world.
I didn’t see Shakespeare &#38; Co. closing their lower Manhattan store as a sign.
I figured since Borders opened a big store a few blocks away, it was another Wal-Mart Syndrome reaction.
But then within the past few weeks [...]]]></description>

In book publishing, there&#8217;s lulu and now would be magazine publishers have Magcloud. Both services provide a backend [...]]]></description>

More importantly though, the new iphone will allow the installation of applications, so we&#8217;re all waiting breathlessly for a &#8216;legitimate&#8217; ebook reader. And it appears that, hopefully, we won&#8217;t have to wait too long. [...]]]></description>

Drawing on Digitimes reporting, which suggests that e-ink screens are being manufactured at a rate of 60,000-80,000 a month and trending upwards. Which leads him to suggest that Sony and Amazon will (together) [...]]]></description>
