WSJ, Alexandra Alter : "Publishers are only just beginning to mull over the potential uses for e-reading data. Many are skeptical that analytics can aid in the industry's ongoing battle to woo consumers who are increasingly distracted by games and social media. But at a time when traditional publishers are losing ground to tech giants like Amazon and Apple, better analytics seem to offer tantalizing possibilities."
Publishing has lagged far behind the rest of the entertainment industry when it comes to measuring consumers' tastes and habits. TV producers relentlessly test new shows through focus groups; movie studios run films through a battery of tests and retool them based on viewers' reactions. But in publishing, reader satisfaction has largely been gauged by sales data and reviews—metrics that offer a postmortem measure of success but can't shape or predict a hit. That's beginning to change as publishers and booksellers start to embrace big data, and more tech companies turn their sights on publishing.
Svensk Biblioteksförening föreslår en ny ersättningsmodell, abonnemangsmodellen med tre byggstenar. 1. Möjliggör en kommersiell e-boksmarknad (licenser för nya e-bokstitlar) 2. Skapa incitament för bibliotek att arbeta med en stor titelbredd (abonnemang) 3. Åstadkom samverkan för digitalisering av äldre material (digitaliseringssamverkan)
Alice Meadows: "...while most of us agree that OA can benefit authors and readers, it is simplistic to assume that these benefits apply equally across all disciplines. "
NBF kunne ikke akseptere forleggerforeningens krav om at bare enkeltbibliotek skal kunne kjøpe inn og låne ut e-bøker, og mener dette ville vært et tilbakesteg i forhold til dagens praksis.
"What excites me about ebooks is not that they’re easier to carry around but that they’re digital documents. Couple that with a digital network, and now we’re talking about reinventing reading." "...there are plenty of reasons to finish the book /I am writing - mb/ and create editions (version control, for instance), but they are now choices, not rules dictated by the medium." ".. see reading for what it truly is: a conversation in which authors, readers, and an entire community can use the book to build knowledge and exchange ideas"
8.3.12: Utredare: "Biblioteken måste gå samman"Folkbiblioteken kan inte jämställa e-boken med den tryckta. Det menar Tomas Lidman, regeringens litteraturutredare, som säger att landets folkbibliotek måste gå samman och förhandla gemensamt med förlagen. Zlatan-biografin i digital form har fått e-bokskontot att skjuta i höjden för många av landets bibliotek. Samtidigt är förlagen djupt missnöjda över att potentiella e-bokskunder laddar hem e-boken gratis från bibliotekens sajter i stället för att köpa den.
Alan Toner: "With the growth of file-sharing into a mass phenomenon in the middle of the last decade, dedicated book sites appeared, sometimes linked explicitly to complaints about access and cost. This was the case with the Danish vidensdeling.nu founded in August 2005 to provide a platform for students to share course books. Publishers immediately shut the site down. A similar site in the US, Textbook Torrents launched in 2007, was closed in the summer of 2008 after an article in the Chronicle for Higher Education led to threats of legal action against its creator."
