I got an email the other day from Barnes and Noble, telling me that they had bought the Borders customer list, and I was on it. They said that I could choose to opt-out. I did.
We're living in a pivotal time. I heard mention the other day: this is the first time that publishing has significantly changed since the Gutenberg press was invented in 1436.
We're all taking our books to the web, and no one really knows how to do it. For the last 600 years, there was a pretty sure path to publishing success: get your book on paper. Now? The only paper books I'm buying are blank when I buy them.
Readability has a send-to-kindle button now. Does this mean that every website is a book?
What is a package when anyone can create one?
