Many new eBooks services are setting themselves up with claims to be the next Netflix or Spotify. They aim to be the subscription service for eBooks. But are they just dreaming and hoping that there is a market? Are they truly aligned, or are they adrift of consumer demand?

  1. J.K. Rowling can do whatever she wants. I couldn’t care less what she writes, when she writes, or where she writes. I’m not going to read her again. I read a few Harry Potter books for a book club. They were nothing special – except they got tossed on a bandwagon. A very big bandwagon and now everyone wants to cheer or feel left out.

    Writers have no control over what’s on the bandwagon. It’s a crap shoot. It’s a matter of timing.

    I suppose it’s rough for one author to see another author celebrated on the bandwagon – for no other reason but happenstance – but that’s always the way it’s been.

  2. With regards to ebook content, there are some really inspired ways to utilize the electronic formatting in order to revolutionize publishing. For instance, the WHY Code (http://whycode.com/) is focused on capturing the answers to the fundamental learning questions of a reader, automatically indexing and publishing information from a text in this format. This enables people to understand information far faster than under conventional methods of knowledge publishing.
