The Latest In Books
from the next-up! dept
Getting sick of all the talk of software and music piracy? Well, now it's time to move onto electronic books. There's a growing group of people who have been making all sorts of books available online for download. I know some folks who are heavily involved in this, and it seems like it's a very tight community. However, now the lawsuits may start coming down.... At the same time, here's another articles showing that electronic books won't sell too well this holiday season. At least the industry is pushing for it, though. It will be very interesting to compare how things work out in the music industry as compared to the book publishing industry.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
