visual.jpgIf you want to read a “textual” account of the IDPF conference, as opposed to a Twitter one, go over to Smart Bitches Trashy Books and look at SB Sarah’s coverage. It’s the best I’ve seen so far, and it’s also interesting to read coverage from the point of view of a participant, as Sarah was a panelist.

To get the party started, how about a quote:

When Jane and I both asked Angie via Twitter to query whether it would be possible to unify publishers to get behind the .epub format to potentially push back against the market dominance of Amazon, she was informed by Potash that her question was inappropriate for the forum—even though one of the presenters had discussed in detail the potential of the .epub format. To which Jane, Angie, and I all said, “…the hell?”

Yes, Steve did squelch that perfectly legitimate question and he did so in a rather nasty manner, I thought. Lots of good stuff in her article.
