A weblog about ebooks, epublishing, self-publishing, print on demand (POD) and marketing aspects of epublished writing.
They claim this is like iTunes for ebooks. Prices start at 99 cents but go up from there. I let you know more tomorrow. If they can pull this off and make buying, downloading and reading ebooks a no brainer it might boost ebook popularity. No word on formats.
This is big. I've been toying with the idea of buying a Nokia 770 around Christmas. But I really want to be able to surf the web AND read ebooks on it. Now I knew the Plucker ebook software reader had been ported over to the Nokia, and I really like Plucker, but there are not enough ebook titles available in Plucker - yet, to make me want to buy the Nokia. I would have to have at least one other ebook reader available. Now it looks like the FBReader has been ported over from the Sharp Zaurus. FBReader will read HTML and TXT formats. Now that may just be enough to make me seriously look at the Nokia 770 when it comes out.
This is great news - Teleread is getting an ebook reviewer. Somebody to review literary type ebooks.
Great writeup on Lulu.com from the BBC.
I run several small genre niche web directories mostly in the science fiction and fantasy fields as a hobby. Out of that grew an interest in the web, epublishing and search engines.
