"As a result, 2009 may well prove to be the most significant year in the evolution of the book since Gutenberg hammered out his original Bible."
"Amazon's early data suggest that Kindle users buy significantly more books than they did before owning the device, and it's not hard to understand why: The bookstore is now following you around wherever you go. A friend mentions a book in passing, and instead of jotting down a reminder to pick it up next time you're at Barnes & Noble, you take out the Kindle and -- voilà! -- you own it."
"Also, by making books available anywhere, anytime, and at a substantially lower price enabled by digital's lower costs, eBooks can dramatically increase the number of books bought on impulse. Lower cost, higher profit, greater volume: a very attractive combination for any retailer."
Essenziale per chi vuole conoscere dal di dentro i misteri delle politiche di prezzo degli ebook.
Un articolo tutto da leggere.
"The only thing keeping paper books going as a mass market today is inertia. But as older generations die out and younger ones come online, and as generations in the middle try ebooks and realize their advantages, the demise of paper books will continue to accelerate. That's an important point: the marginalization of paper books won't continue at its current rate. It'll pick up speed until it hits a tipping point, and then -- poof! -- the only paper books published will be coffee table books and other niche forms that serve a unique (and relatively small) market."
"One college in rural Missouri is the first trying to go entirely book-free."
"Unless Amazon embraces open e-book standards like epub, which allow readers to read books on a variety of devices, the Kindle will be gone within two or three years."
"Con Kindle Amazon ha creato una sorta di Itunes dell'editoria, un mondo chiuso e protetto da DRM ma le cose stanno cambiando, esattamente come nella musica", ci dice, " l'idea che si sta affermando è quella di un "soft DNR" in cui ogni file acquistato abbia il nome dell'acquirente e la data d'acquisto per identificare il propietario".
Tombolini pensa che gli e-book siano un passaggio inevitabile per motivi economici, di impatto ambientale e anche perchè potranno dare più opportunità agli scrittori meno affermati di avere le proprie opere pubblicate.
Questo è il vero punto forte di Kindle, e degli e-readers!
"In many ways, this is true. The Kindle is an unusual gadget in that it does not obviously target young people, or early-adopting technophiles. Instead it appeals to passionate readers, who want no fiddling with cables (the Kindle works without a computer) or complicated pricing plans (Kindle users pay to buy books and other content, but do not have to pay wireless-subscription fees). It is, in short, perfect for older people. The Kindle is a surprisingly “conservative” device, says John Makinson, the boss of Penguin Group, a large book publisher, so it is an additional distribution channel and thus “good for us”. (Penguin is an arm of Pearson, which partly owns The Economist.)"
