"Do I need a Digital Kiosk ? Or is it better to convert everything to ePub ? Or send it all to Google ? Or maybe an iPhone/iPad app ? What about Amazon than ? Or send my Word Documents to India ? Where to sell my content ? How to leverage Facebook for boosting my eBook sales ?

????

Let's apply some methodology to sort all those objectives and draw an architecture that will optimize your cost and revenue for your Digital Content.

Mon commentaire:

"Hé oui, le marché de la lecture électronique évolue rapidement. Quand un milliardaire Américain investit dans une plateforme comme Zinio, elle arrive vite et fort. Je me demande ce que Jan Dheedene en pense (cfr http://www.dhemedia.eu/) puisqu’il développe un kiosque digital en Belgique.

Il y aura plusieurs « Zinios » dans les prochaines années. Les éditeurs de magazines doivent s’assurer que des acteurs comme Zinio ne sont qu’un élément de la publication dans une stratégie globale de Media Asset Management. Je prone plutôt la diffusion « multi-channel » afin de ne pas mettre tous les oeufs dans le même panier et garder une certaine indépendance…

eBook writing and publishing

Today I'm trying something and I'm not sure it's a good idea (yet).

I have decided to write my eBook with Google Sites rather than with OpenOffice. Why ? So I can switch computer and share my draft with friends. The idea is to work in two phases : work on the content until I'm happy and than have a formatting only issue.

Is it a good idea ? Not sure yet...

The Pros :

• I can share it
• I can publish it in one click and people online can read it
• People who have access can comment

The cons :

•  I'll have to copy it all back from Google Sites to OpenOffice... and/or something else to create a PDF or an ePub or a file for Amazon DTP... And it's a LOT of work...
  

Don't touch my iPad, it's my private life

This morning I read a good article about the pro and cons of the iPad (see What I love - and what I hate - about iPad | BetaTales http://bit.ly/cltESi).

One of the good thoughts of this article is that an iPad is a personal device. Once an iPad is configured (email, twitter, facebook...), you don't want to give it to someone else as he would immediately have access to your 'secrets'.

This stresses once again the lack of security features on such devices.  In the future tablets will come with a multi-user login screen as on PCs. This will also make a process easier : the "rooting" or "jail-breaking" of your device. Logging in as 'root' will make it easier to configure the tablet. Having a real super-user access to a device that you own will become a real plus, especially for "enterprise" configurations for which apps aren't to be found in the App Store...

Note that Google, with Chrome OS has got it right. After you have signed out of your Google account, you could give the device to someone else who would just have to sign-in to have access to HIS information.
