We are building a system that follows conversations on the web and on
Twitter in particular. This weekend, in partnership with Patricia of
"'t Koffiehuis aan de Ijse", we will follow the conversations about
the cyclocross in Overijse.
You can follow the conversations here http://thm.cc/t/overijse
With this case we experiment how social media like Twitter can help
you develop your small business and bring you new customers.

Amazon has no problem because they let you the author or the publisher
set the price of the ebook, so they can't be blamed if the price is
wrong.
But have you ever tried to fix a final ebook price on Amazon ? I did.
With the standard (KDP) Kindle platform, it's a difficult exercise. I
wouln't guarantee you an exact value, I can't really figure out the
final Amazon price of my own ebooks...

Today we submitted, together with the Maurice Carême school in Wavre (Belgium), a project proposal in the context of "Ecoles Numérique" (Numeric Shool).
The project we submitted is called "Lecture Numérique à l'Ecole: Test de tablettes" (Digital Reading at School : Tablet Test).
Basically I proposed to prototype my reference architecture for School Ebooks :

Let's hope we can get the funding for the project. We will see...
"How media consumption is distributed: according to the Havas Media survey,
51% of the respondents prefer websites,
31% go for electronic editions, and
17% use applications."

With my ebooks I thought I would have a 70% royalty. Amazon gave me only 35%.
I didn't get it until I saw this at the bottom of my KDP reports page:
"Note: 70% royalty option is only available for sales in the US, UK, Canada and Germany. Sales outside the US, UK, Canada and Germany receive 35% royalty. Please see Terms & Conditions for more details on how royalty payments are made."

The HPub (HTML Publication) standard is a file format designed to release rich content books in a simple and manageable package.
We want a digital publishing format that:
Since several months we see iPad alternatives (Tablets) at Retailers.
Here in Belgium I have seen some at Photo Hall (Archos, POV MOBII), at FNAC (Toshiba Android Tablet).
Here is an other example here at Macro. Interesting : it runs Windows7 Home Premium.
Would you buy an alternative tablet ? (non iPad) At which price ? Why ?

eReader | Luc Pire se base essentiellement sur une publication sur Amazon. Cette publication permet d’adresser en un coup la publication sur l'iPad et sur tablette/téléphone Android qui sont les appareils de lecture probablement les plus fréquents en Belgique . On peut aussi le télécharger sur un Kindle mais celui-ci est moins répandu en Belgique. Voici un lien vers les livres de Luc Pire sur Amazon. | |
Internet |
| |
Entreprise | Vu que Amazon permet l'ingestion de documents MS Word pour les livres numérique, je suppose que la gestion des livres se résume au stockage du document MS Word du livre ainsi que quelques fichiers image supplémentaires pour la couverture. Dans le cas ou une édition plus poussée a été réalisée, des outils ou approches plus spécifiques sont possibles (par exemple: Kindle MobiPocket Tools). Elles donnent un meilleur contrôle sur le résultat final. Vu le nombre de livres publiés pour l'instant, je ne pense pas qu'un CMS avec gestion des méta-données soit nécessaire/utilisé. | |
Desktop | La création des livre s'est probablement faite dans MS Word, vu la possibilité d'uploader ce type de fichiers sur la plateforme Kindle d'Amazon. |
Hello,
When there were rumors of a windows Tablet (the courier, if you remember) I thought that Microsoft could offer a strong alternative to the iPad. What we see here is the collision between two kind of systems: Desktop OS Vs Mobile OS.
As usual, Microsoft starts from far but in the end they finally get somewhere. Look at IE, at
Axapta (CRM), at Sharepoint...
What you should ask is not: “what is good to Microsoft ?”, but “what is good for the user ?”
My answer is: it depends.
It depends on the needs and the kind of applications that make that person productive. If all his productivity applications are based on "Windows Servers" or MS Office or Outlook, or any other WIN32 the windows tablet might be the best for this person.
Before deciding I suggest everyone to make an analysis on the 4 Tiers of what I call the eReading Reference Architecture : eReader (ePaper or Tablet), Desktop, Internet and
Entreprise. See http://erra.appepaper.com/the-4-tiers-of-the-ereading-architecture
It's only when you look at the complete lifecycle of your digital contents that you can choose the right tablet for you.
In the case of ebooks, a Kindle is even nicer...
Have a great 2011 !!
