Is the publishing industry catching on to the usefulness of the e-books as trail-blazers for p-books? I’ll be surprised if HarperCollin’s new “studio” imprint doesn’t try that. But more immediately:
—Bertelsmann is publishing a condensed paper edition of Wikipedia, in German. Check out the New York Times, Ars Technica and a Google roundup. Could this be the start of a truly sustainable business model for Wikipedia?
–A self-published book is shortlisted for the prestigious Pen/Ackerley award in the U.K. The book came out as an e-book, although I’m not certain if E appeared before or after the P. Author is psychotherapist Jane Haynes, and the title is Who is it that can tell me who I am? The journal of a psychotherapist.
