I love your memories of Mr. Benson. I write a real estate column for the Thousand Islands Sun our local paper and since Thanksgiving is just around the corner I was writing about thanking someone who made a great impression or a difference in your life. Mr. Benson came to mind. As I was searching to see if I could find out if he was still in Pittsfield I cam across your post. You say it oh, so well.

I read all of his books as a child. So absorbing, so educational.
No personal memories, just gratitude and reverence.

I usually work with web-based applications like http://www.showdocument.com
I use it for sharing my designs and documents with partners and clients,
but i guess it can used for other purposes too. If you're looking for a free solution you should check it out.

Re: Future of Publishing

I think you're on the mark here -- and that the process is starting already. I'm seeing a large percentage of my work these days not from only major publishers, but by authors engaged in putting their own book into print, hiring an editor/proof reader to make the corrections and suggest changes, hiring me to create their cover, and then going on to have the book printed (usually print-on-demand). From there they go about promoting their publication. The system works well and isn't much more complicated than going through a mainstream publisher (in fact, probably easier considering the submission/rejection fiasco is avoided).

A wonderful idea--much better than my poor effort getting something going on Facebook!

Joe, that's some great writing. Amy Levine sent out the link, in celebration of your achievement. Congratulations on the publication on your book, which I'll surely buy, and will read on Beverly Street when I'm back home for the holidays.

Re: Multitudes of eBook Readers

shoshanakleiman — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 09:08:50 -0000

As a publisher I am very concerned over Amazon's ebook pricing policy and their policy of not supporting any eBook format except Kindle. On top of that, I cannot get Kindle books outside the US; I can purchase other eBooks. As for image quality, the Nook may overtake the Kindle. And rumors of the iPhone eBook ability may also prove to be a major contender. That said, I don't know that I am ready, yet, to invest in an eBook reader, mainly because there is still a great deal of work to be done for the reader to become as common place a choice as a book on my shelf.

As a recent Amazon Kindle owner, I can say that there are two categories missing from your list: image quality and book price. Both of these categories helped convince me to purchase a Kindle over other brands. It has the best image quality - which seems to be very important and reduces eye strain while eReading. Also, most Kindle books are $10 or less, whereas most of the books for other readers cost around $20 per book.

I look forward to following your eBook discussion.
