noreply@blogger.com (Jito) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 23:41:00 +0000

New York publishers have been startled by Amazon's digital rights deal with Stephen Covey because they see online editions as a definite threat to their backlist cash cow, and assert that they still own the digital online publishing rights to books they originally publshed the traditional way as hard cover or soft cover editions. But a major digital copyright ruling in New York courts in 2002 says otherwise.

New Dan Brown Novel "The Lost Symbol" is Now Out

noreply@blogger.com (Jito) — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 03:57:00 +0000

Dan Brown's new novel "The Lost Symbol" is now on sale.

Amazon.com Review
From the Publisher

Dan Brown’s new novel, the eagerly awaited follow-up to his #1 international phenomenon, The Da Vinci Code, which was the bestselling hardcover adult novel of all time, will be published on September 15, 2009.

The Lost Symbol will once again feature Dan Brown’s unforgettable protagonist, Robert Langdon.

“The Lost Symbol is a brilliant and compelling thriller. Dan Brown’s prodigious talent for storytelling, infused with history, codes and intrigue, is on full display in this new book. This is one of the most anticipated publications in recent history, and it was well worth the wait,” said Sonny Mehta, Chairman and Editor in Chief of the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group.

Brown’s longtime editor, Jason Kaufman, Vice President and Executive Editor at Doubleday said, “Nothing ever is as it first appears in a Dan Brown novel. This book’s narrative takes place in a twelve-hour period, and from the first page, Dan’s readers will feel the thrill of discovery as they follow Robert Langdon through a masterful and unexpected new landscape. The Lost Symbol is full of surprises.”

"This novel has been a strange and wonderful journey," said Brown. "Weaving five years of research into the story's twelve-hour timeframe was an exhilarating challenge. Robert Langdon’s life clearly moves a lot faster than mine."

Impact of Coming Amazon Kindle DX

noreply@blogger.com (Jito) — Wed, 06 May 2009 02:07:00 +0000

Writing in CNET News The Social, Caroline McCarthy discusses the coming Amazon Kindle DX and asks whether the next version of the Kindle (planned to have a much bigger 9.7 inch viewing screen than the current Kindle's puny 6 inch screen) will be a newspaper savior (probably not) or instead will be a boon to textbook publishers and become a hit on campus (pretty good chance).
