Title:

Beyond Publishing: When Every Book is Connected to Everyone

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Stephanie Troeth, Book Oven
Description:
What happens when every book is online, linkable, and connected to every writer and every reader? What happens when the book is liberated from being words on paper, unbound from a format that's two thousand years old? What happens to how we read and how we write?
Questions
Answered:
  1. What examples do we have of the "networked book" today?
  2. Why are networked books something that's going to happen sooner or later?
  3. Will this mean the end of the paper book as we know it?
  4. What could the reading experience in the future look like?
  5. What could be some types of networked book content?
  6. What new ways of writing can we imagine?
  7. Are the current available e-reading devices and software just a part of a trend towards networked books?
  8. How would we deal with multiple editions of the same book?
  9. How would we deal with translations of books?
  10. Would there still be magic to storytelling if traditional textual content is enhanced by multimedia?

BookOven is doing some of the most interesting and innovative things in publishing today. Well-deserving of your vote and attention, whether you're in publishing or not.

Maybe could you add any thought about new bibliographic protocols (e.g. DOI) and consider the book not as a monolithic thing (there are many kinds of book, many uses, many types of reading).

Hi Rene,

I'll bet that Peter Brantley, of the Internet Archive, will touch on this - it's a particular interest, defining standards of how to track "books" now that they are ebooks, in the cloud.

I would also like to see a discussion and comparison of the available e-readers: Amazon Kindle, Sony Daily Edition, and Barnes and Noble. I would also like to see what features most readers lack that are critical to the success of digital content.

Is there anywhere online, aside from Book Oven and LibriVox, where I can look further into the future of books? Thanks!
