The Bible as sentencing device If the
Constitution sanctions such direct reliance on religious sources when imposing criminal sentences,
then there is nothing to stop prosecutors and criminal defense lawyers
from regularly citing religious
sources like the Bible, the Talmud, or the Koran to justify their
respective positions on punishment. Diesel eBooks Introduces Free Online

Manga and eBooks on Your PSP
Manga and eBooks on Your PSP
03/29/2005 11:24 AM
1UP
has a write-up about reading manga and eBooks on your PSP, which is a
pleasant enough read, but for fears of legal retribution doesn't
actually link to a lot of content. That means there's no one-stop
download, but they can at least point you in the right direction. The
main problem I see for comics and manga is that not everything is
going to fit to one size and the current image viewing software on the
PSP doesn't scroll easily, so reading large frames could be difficult.
For eBooks, though, it looks pretty decent. Maybe someone will start
converting free books to a native PSP resolution .zip files so I don't
have to do any real work.

Beattie: “Many of us are too busy to read classic books out
there, instead choosing ‘page turners’ or books that are
more applicable to our every day lives (like a some new marketing
book). But we do have time to zip through our aggregator daily, right?
So by taking a 500 page novel and distributing it, a few pages at a
time, via RSS, we could read a new book in a month or so without even
trying.”
Ebooks doing well sans DRM
Ebooks doing well sans DRM
08/27/2004 01:46 PM
Cory Doctorow:
CNet reports that ebook sales topped 3 million last year, and that
publishers are slowly coming around to rejecting DRM. The best part is
that famous writers like JK Rowling are rejecting ebooks, a courtesy
that leaves the field open for struggling midlist writers (ahem).
Bad experiences with heavy-handed DRM have soured many potential
customers on e-books, said Mike Violano, vice president and general
manager of eReader, which equips its titles with a security key based
on the credit card number used to purchase it. The approach give wide
latitude to the original buyer while effectively thwarting illegal
copying, he said.
"There are far too many standards and ways of doing things now, and
that's a source of frustration for customers," Violano said. "If they
have a bad e-book experience the first time, where they have trouble
reading something they've paid for, it's hard to get them back."
Analyst Bedford said nervous publishers have emphasized security over
opening new markets.
"There's no good DRM, period," she said. "Publishers all want
heavy-duty DRM, but the problem is that anything you do gets in the
way of buying and using e-books. My bias is to use a lot of
psychological DRM. You put a price on it; you have statements...making
it very clear you can use this as you would a print book, and you rely
on the fact that by and large, most people aren't out to break the
law."

eBooks Suddenly Getting More Attention
07/20/2004 04:28 AMEvery few years there's a big fuss about the future of ebooks, and
they never seem to get very far. Sure, a few early adopter types buy
into the whole concept, but with clumsy readers,
annoyin
g digital rights management and a lack of content, they usually
don't get very far. Here's yet another story, though, suggesting
that, perhaps,
the time has come for eBooks.
The article quotes a study saying that eBooks are "the fastest growing
segment of the publishing industry" which really isn't that impressive
when you realize from what a small base they're starting, and
considering that most of the publishing world is pretty well
established. In absolute numbers, ebook sales are still a barely
noticeable blip on the very distant outskirts of the radar.

A Rising Tide of Ebooks

Adam is fond of talking about the
"Macintosh ecosystem" and how the companies and products
that make up that system generally work together for a common good.
When a shortcoming is found in Mac OS X, for example, software
developers create utilities to address it. In many cases, you get
several programs that do the same thing, but with their own unique
approaches. Look at the plethora of snippet-keepers (many of which
Matt Neuburg has reviewed). A couple years ago, I didn't put much
thought into whether such note-taking and -organizing software
existed, and now I look for which one offers the features that suit my
style of working.

All this does is highlight the big, huge mistake J.K. Rowling
continues to make by refusing to make the Harry Potter books available
via Audible. Yeah, I know she's still making money hand over fist, but
it's not like I can't rip the CDs to listen to them, like others who
have shared the files on P2P networks worldwide. She could dominate
this list, too, if she just faced reality.
Ebooks talk has a hidden posthumanist

Ebooks talk has a hidden posthumanist
rant in it
08/01/2004 08:00 AM
This is pretty funny -- kaksoisagentti took my ebooks
talk and replaced "book" with "human," "ebook" with "posthuman"
and "paper" with "flesh." The results are surprisingly cogent:
2. Posthumans complement flesh humans. Having an posthuman is good.
Having a flesh human is good. Having both is even better. One reader
wrote to me and said that he read half my first novel from the bound
human, and printed the other half on scrap-flesh to read at the beach.
Students write to me to say that it's easier to do their term fleshs
if they can copy and paste their quotations into their
word-processors. Baen readers use the electronic editions of their
favorite series to build concordances of characters, places and
events.

Spanish translation and augmentation of

Spanish translation and augmentation of
Ebooks: Neither E nor Books
04/24/2004 03:47 PM
This is screamingly cool: I gave a talk at this year's
Emerging Tech conference called Ebooks: Neither E nor Books and released the
text into the public domain. Alas, the slides that accompanied the
talk were full of copyrighted images that I was in no position to
release into the public domain with the talk.
Now, Javier Candiera has taken the public domain text and translated
it into Spanish. But Javier went one better -- several better, in fact
-- he used my notes about the slides I'd used to "illuminate" his
translation with clip art he discovered on the Net, and then went
through the piece and added extensive footnotes. My Spanish is wildly
imperfect, but it's good enough to see that this is a good, thoughtful
translation, and the illustrations and citations are tremendous.

(Thanks (a lot!) Javier!)
