The Future of E-Publishing and E-Reading—Panel Discussion—April 7th, 2010



Traditionally publishers have been printing books for authors, selling to distributors who turn it around and sell to retailers. A consumer buys the book and sells second hand book to other consumer or a specialist used book store. The digital publishing is changing the model and on its way by passing many middle businesses. The book is no longer a physical entity and an e-author can publish the book him or herself and sells directly to the consumers. The process has also created new vistas – eBook readers, self-publishing houses, e-authors, and e-books. Anita’s presentation has a lot of good info. See below for link.
