I spent this weekend at the excellent BookCamp Vancouver 2009 unconference, where I moderated a group discussion on “The State of the Electronic Book”. The session description:
Devices such as the Amazon Kindle, the Sony Reader, the Stanza iPhone application, and many others are changing how people access books and (more importantly) how authors reach readers. This session will provide a brief background on the current state of the market, an introduction to the technology, and a guided discussion on the ramifications of this disruptive development for publishers, authors, and readers alike.
For those of you that missed the session, I’ve recorded a version for your enjoyment:
