  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 656
  The obvious. Many publishers might as well just be relaxing with their feet on their desks as the e-revolution passes them by. While there’s some welcome progress, such as Random House’s letting Amazon sell its titles internationally , the industry has a long way to go. Of course, as Dear Author points out, ...

  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 656
  When BlackBerry e-mail went down the other day, some resourceful people could still keep in touch with business associates, friends and family—via the Kindles they also happened to tote. They could, at any rate, if they knew how to use their Kindles for e-mail. I’ve done so ever since I picked up a used ...

  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 656

• Kindle pricing good, but K formatting stinks: Scribner treats Stephen King e-book like a country cousin

  
  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 656
  Here’s an e-mail I received from John Hagewood. Since I’ve preordered Stephen King ’s Under the Dome , maybe I’d better check what my ultimate price was.

• ‘E-books now outselling print 3:1 on oreilly.com’: You listening, Random, S&S, Author’s Guild?

  
  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 656
  Earlier today I pointed out how backwards the Authors Guild had been on such issues as DRM and text-to-speech bans. Hurting e-books will  only hurt the industry as a whole. Now comes further evidence of the folly of being a trog on such matters. O’Reily reports that e-books are outselling p-titles 3:1 . Click ...

• Ursula Le Guin hates Google deal, flees Authors Guild: Will DRM and TTS stands also alienate some members in time?

  
  TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home — Authority: 656
  Disgusted with the deal the Authors Guild struck with Google, SF great Ursula K. Le Guin has left the Guild . Thanks, Ms. le Guin.
