Right place, right time for EnhancedBooks? Perhaps, but the conversation surrounding how technology is effecting publishing is clearly gaining steam. It’s defiantly a fun place to be… on the cutting edge of a revolution.
I was delighted to see a publishing professional like Joe Wikert agreeing with my recent comments on the concept that networks are good for books. As soon as authors and publishers start to really get it en masse, you’ll see a whole wave of changes happen. It’s a movement that will level the playing field so much that within 5 years, publishers who remain resistant will be blindsided by plummeting sales and who really knows what consequences. As a matter of fact, networks are already creating the sale and trade of books, as well as other goods and services. Ask yourself, are you so avid a reader that you belong to a reading club? Have you ever considered how much demand for wine and beer a reading club generates? How much coffee you’ve consumed at your local cafe discussing books with friends and acquaintances?
