O’Reilly’s annual Tools of Change Conference will be held in New York on February 9 – 11. David and I covered the conference last year for you here on TeleRead, and we will be doing the same thing again.

David and Joe Wikert, an O’Reilly executive who regularly appears in the TeleBlog, will be on an e-book panel. Other participants will be CEO Russell Wilcox of E Ink and writer-publisher April Hamilton, who herself has written for TeleRead. The moderator will be Mark Coker of Smashwords. Here is the blurb:

The Rise of E-Books
Mark Coker (Smashwords, Inc.), Joe Wikert (O’Reilly Media, Inc.), April Hamilton (April Hamilton), David Rothman (TeleRead.org), Russell Wilcox (E Ink).
eBooks, written off just a few years ago as a massive failure, are on the rise again. According to the latest industry data, ebooks are the fastest growing segment in an otherwise stagnant trade book industry. This panel discussion, moderated by Mark Coker, will cover the latest trends in the ebook business and provide publishers actionable strategies to profit from the rise of ebooks.
