Ebook Publishers to Watch: What's inside
Behind this postage stamp cover: Profiles of 16 ebook publishers worth knowing about.
Each profile is extensively, possibly excessively, hyperlinked, so there are many places to jump off to, if you're link-oriented.
You can also read this ebook plain, vanilla, texty style.
This ebook also includes many extras, a few of which are enumerated below.
But first, here's the cast:
- Trip Adler
- Marco Arment
- The Atavist
- Jeff Bezos
- Mark Coker
- Peter Collingridge
- Liza Daly
- Electric Literature
- Miriam Goderich
- Seth Godin
- Brad Inman
- Joe Konrath
- Abraham Murray
- Tim O'Reilly
- Mike Shatzkin
- Joshua Tallent
If you don't know who these people are (other than Jeff Bezos that is) that's a sign. You should buy this e-book.
But wait, that's not all!
At no extra charge, you get 7 ebook publishing types who are at least worth a passing glance.
This group:
- Paul Biba
- Peter Brantley
- Keith Fahlgren
- Hadrien Gardeur
- Brian O'Leary
- Alexander Turcic
- Malle Vallik
The latest edition also features a time-saving, subtractive feature: two ebook publishers you can safely ignore. Your time is valuable: don't waste it on blah, blah, blah.
Finally, a forward-looking feature: seven people who through no fault of their own are on the shortlist for the next edition.
Everything is hyperlinked, so you can check out for yourself whether you think these ebook publishing professionals are worth watching or not. (If you feel strongly enough, you can even vote for one of them, or suggest an additional person for consideration.)
One other consideration, for those of you teetering on the edge of a purchase decision: all content issues aside, you might enjoy the experimental aspect of this project, particularly the nuggety format and extensive hyperlinking, both external and internal.
Do these features point to something promising in the e-book ecosystem? Or are they just annoying? For $2.99 you can decide for yourself.
Maybe you'll be spurred on to create something newer, improved.
