SL eBooks Turns Hollywood’s Best Unproduced Screenplays Into E-Books
Up till now, ereaders have proved useful to people with serious eye problems, but obviously are no use to the totally blind – Well this may be about to change.
Old and New. One thing I like about this picture is how it highlights the real and significant impact of digital on publishing. The book section seen in the background of this photo is know as the Bargain Section. It is filled with overstock inventory remaindered at bargain closeout prices. These are books that would be otherwise pulped and destroyed. All of them could be contained in the little glowing device in the foreground and not an ounce of paper wasted. Not a digital word declared out of print because sales volume didn’t justify a reprinting.
The problem is that there is a huge percentage of the business of traditional publishing centered on the waste of getting content through the distribution pipeline. Remainders to secondary markets, used bookstores, foreign rights sales, are all branches that break the fall of bad decisions. As digital publishing develops and matures these branches one by one are cut off and with each misstep the fall becomes faster and faster. ~ eP

I believe I am beginning to develop a fetish for small portable devices that create and generate electricity. ~ eP
Window Socket - Kyuho Song & Boa Oh
So this is an absolutley brilliant idea! Just attach the plug on to a window and it will harness solar energy. A small converter will convert it into electricity which can be freely used as a plug when you are in the car, on a plane or outside.
Love this design and I really think it has a great potential.
If however you combine your reader, phone, netbook, and TV onto a single device you shrink the amount of devices being manufactured. That is definitely something a print book can’t do and net/net much greener. ~ eP
