Now, in addition to print copies, a book can be recorded by the author or an actor, podcast, sold on CD or as a download, or sold as an ebook, and read on (or by) an eReader.”
• Meanwhile, Louise Marley asks: What Do Readers Want? “As writers, all we can do is tell the story that’s ours to tell, in the very best way we know how to tell it.”
• EVENT: The Singularity Summit is coming to NYC October 3 – 4. The list of speakers is impressive, including Anders Sandberg, Gregory Benford, and Ray Kurzweil. [via Gravity Lens]
