Just read about it on NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/05/business/05stream.html?_r=2&ref=business. That's something I'm really looking forward to - but nothing alike in Germany, yet.

Very cool. I looked at the credits page on one of the e-books and noted that they were produced by a team of people, not just an author, which makes sense. I wonder if these type of works will provide a new way for people to collaborate online? Thanks for sharing this link. Very cool.

Her site 'hosts' the multi-media format, with readers able to 'sample' a chapter, e-purchase the book or a PDF format (missing the audio/video content). It's expensive, but it's a more inter-active way to communicate with the reader.

Their publishing model is very interesting, see http://www.marcherlordpress.com/MLP_Publishing_Model.htm Their first books launch this month, so it will be interesting to see how this model works out in practice.

In the transcript of his lecture, Timo Hannay mentions the Kindle in particular, but also briefly examines the evolution of written language (specifically text-messaging) and other interesting trends. He talks about Tokyo for about half the article, but it informs the rest so do read it. Here's a brief response from James Long at Pan-Macmillan's The Digitalist: http://thedigitalist.net/?p=259#respond http://blogs.nature.com/wp/nascent/2008/09/the_future_is_a_foreign_countr.html
