Buzz, Balls & Hype : Dead Trees is a Dead Model #2 – Guest Post by Barry Eisler
“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.”

Buzz, Balls & Hype : Dead Trees is a Dead Model – Guest Post by Barry Eisler
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.”

Fiat, Moody’s taglia il rating E il titolo va a picco in Borsa – economia – Repubblica.it
E non aggiungo altro:
“Moody’s ha tagliato il rating a lungo termine di Fiat, che è così passato da BAA3 a BA1 con prospettive negative, (equivalente a “junk”, titolo ad alto rischio).”
Why Kindle Should Be An Open Book – Forbes.com
“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.”
Simplicissimus su Wired Italia
“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.

The march of the Kindle | Well read | The Economist
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.)”
An iTunes moment for readers? | An iTunes moment? | The Economist
“So it is not unreasonable to suppose that someone could step in, as Apple did with music, and introduce a comprehensive and easy-to-use shopfront, through which books, newspapers and magazines could be supplied to paying customers. The convenience of having content delivered to devices automatically overnight, and being able to flick quickly between stories at the breakfast table, when underground or on an aeroplane, might be something that people will pay for. If this approach took off, newspapers would no longer depend on advertisers and could wind down their paper editions. (They could also quietly scale back their free websites.)”
