Amazon Acquires Rights to James Bond Books :
This is an interesting move. Is it the exclusive rights? I wonder if snapping up well established titles is a way of making B&N and other outlets to carry Amazon published books?
The fact is that the current business model of publishers doesn’t work as well as it used to. It’s not that the role and service they provide aren’t needed it’s that they need to open up not be more controlling. Focus on scale not constriction.
I love what JK has done here and I’m glad to see such a heavyweight use her position to benefit the end user. I hope more publishers get on board with this approach.

Build Content Management Systems not Web Publishing Tools
Amen! I have been saying this for years. Whatever your company is you need to think about it like a publishing company. Maybe not from a business model but from the fact that you need to be publishing and distributing content. That is the new marketing.
Running the TechBoise site I found this article very interesting. I think most in the publishing world believe hyperlocal holds untapped potential but it remains elusive and as yet an unproven model. I agree with the article that regional or aggregation make the most sense. I actually believe that a mix of regional and re-aggregation hold the key.

- The future of media is all digital, she has concluded, and she doesn’t want to be left behind
- She prefers digital journalism for all its advantages
Kara says she’s going all digital because she doesn’t want to kill any more trees, which although it’s an obvious rationale, is still striking to hear stated flatly by a long-time print journalist of Kara’s stature.
But more striking still were Kara’s other reasons:

An anonymous reader writes "CNN writes about a $50,000 machine that can print books on demand. It can print up to 550 pages and put a binding on the book in seven minutes. It will be debuting in a select number of U.S. libraries in 2007. The machine is the 'output' end of a service called On Demand Books, which is also just debuting. From the article: 'Some 2.5 million books are now available - about one million in English and no longer under copyright protection. On Demand accesses the volumes through Google and the Open Content Alliance, among other sources. [Co-founder Dane] Neller predicts that within about five years On Demand Books will be able to reproduce every volume ever printed.'"

I have to think that most journalists just aren't that adventurous. Most of them don't strike me as entrepreneurs, although the ones that are could make a killing on their own.
