Thursday, August 1, 2019 by Sabrina Ricci

By Joe Peters Many of the changes in the publishing industry have been evident over the years. We’ve seen a significant shift from print to digital, where people are just as likely to read from a smartphone or computer screen as they are to buy a book from their local store. Digital Transformation Makes Publishing Easier The digital transformation of the industry has … [Read more...] about Guest Post: The Impact of Cloud Technology on The Publishing Industry

Privacy in the Digital World

Thursday, July 30, 2015 by Sabrina Ricci

By Matthew Bowden www.digitallyrefreshing.com (http://www.sxc.hu/photo/145972) [Attribution], via Wikimedia Commons

A couple years ago, there were a lot of articles being shared online about how ereaders/tablets were "watching" their readers. In the digital age, privacy is a legitimate concern. In addition to hackers, companies collect and track data from their users/customers, and there's also concerns over how much the government sees. There's definitely a trade-off between convenience … [Read more...] about Privacy in the Digital World

Webinar: Bridging the Digital Revenue Gap; Semantic Strategies for Fueling Sales and Marketing

Wednesday, March 12, 2014 by Sabrina Ricci

Recently I attended an online seminar by Aptara, Bridging the Digital Revenue Gap, that focused on the benefits of semantic strategies. Semantics focuses on the meaning of words. For example, the word orange can mean a color or a fruit. According to the webinar, "with semantic technologies, content can more easily be found extracted combined reused monetized" Here is … [Read more...] about Webinar: Bridging the Digital Revenue Gap; Semantic Strategies for Fueling Sales and Marketing

Books in Browsers 2013

Thursday, October 31, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

I went to my second Books in Browsers last week (see last year's recap day 1 and recap day 2), and was not disappointed! For those who many not know, Books in Browsers is "a small summit for the new generation of internet publishing companies, focusing on developers and designers who are building and launching tools for online storytelling, expression, and art." It takes place … [Read more...] about Books in Browsers 2013

Infographic: The Life & Times of the Travel Guidebook

Thursday, September 5, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

Cheap Flights has made an excellent infographic about travel guidebooks. The graphic looks at the history of the guidebook, from its inception as travel manuscripts in the first century, to its online existence today. Nothing is mentioned about e-books, but I suppose travel guidebooks are much more webby, since people use social media and review sites to figure out where to go … [Read more...] about Infographic: The Life & Times of the Travel Guidebook

The Coming of Age of E-Textbooks?

Monday, January 14, 2013 by Sabrina Ricci

I'm not as familiar with what's going on with e-textbooks, but there seems to have been a lot of exciting developments recently. One thing I often hear about e-textbooks is that, despite the expectation that young people, particularly college students, would be the first to eagerly adopt all things digital, most students don't like e-textbooks as much as physical books. The … [Read more...] about The Coming of Age of E-Textbooks?

Digital Content: Where are publishers investing and what challenges will they need to overcome?

Thursday, June 21, 2012 by Sabrina Ricci

I've been really in to webinars lately. I think part of it is I've been finding a lot free webinars that discuss either various aspects of the publishing industry or entrepreneurship. (Although the webinars on metadata were not free, but I think it's important to learn and understand as much about metadata as possible). Anyway, today's webinar was on an Innodata survey … [Read more...] about Digital Content: Where are publishers investing and what challenges will they need to overcome?

It's basically speed dating, but for digital publishing. Each session lasted long enough that all attendees could hear each of the pitches, and then at the end of the group they voted for the … [Read more...] about Speed Dating: An Overview of 9 Innovative Digital Publishing Companies and Products

BookExpo America 2012

This year's BEA was exciting, and well, a little tiring. Next week I'll be posting some of my highlights of the show, but for now I'd like to share a couple interesting tidbits. At this year's show there were 1300 exhibitors and 22,365 industry professionals. This year was also the first time the largest publishing conference in North America opened up to the public, meaning … [Read more...] about BookExpo America 2012
