Battle of Low-Cost Books. "Used books are to consumer books as
Napster was to the music industry. The question becomes, 'How does the
book industry address its used-book problem?' There aren't any easy
answers, especially as no one is breaking any laws here." Translation:
First-sale rights are fine as long as it's hard to exercise them.

More Writers Offering Books For Free

04/29/2004 02:42 PMIt appears that it's not only musicians recognizing the power of free
publicity from putting their content for free online. While this
article ignores the success of more recent authors to release books
online (Cory Doctorow, Lawrence Lessig, etc...) in conjunction with
their hardcopy release (as well as a number of authors now
experimenting with releasing chapters of their books in progress), it
appears that a more mainstream novelist, Matthew Reilly, is now
releasing
his latest novel online for free. He's releasing it in sections,
rather than as a single download, but his theory is that it will help
get him a bigger audience from readers who previously didn't know
about him, or who were unlikely to find his books in bookstores. He
hopes that it will encourage people to go out and buy his other books
(this is his sixth book, and some of his earlier novels were
apparently "best sellers"). Also, his publishing company will publish
a hardcopy of this book later this year, after it's already completely
free online. Apparently, the idea was entirely his, but his
publishing company thinks it's a great idea - though, it may have
helped that Reilly sold them the publishing rights for a $1 to get rid
of the risk. It doesn't seem like my usual reading material, but if
you're interested in what he describes as a "Tom Clancy-Michael
Crichton" hybrid, you can download the first two sections of his book
at the
Hover Car
Racer website.

New LOTR Easily Available Online, But

New LOTR Easily Available Online, But
Still Had Great Opening
12/22/2003 12:43 PMAt what point does the movie industry realize that maybe (just maybe)
the world doesn't work the way they think it works? I don't know how
many folks went to the movies this weekend, but I went Saturday night
and there were huge lines of folks to see the final chapter in the
Lord of the Rings Trilogy: "The Return of the King". All showings
were easily sold out. In fact, it looks as though
it's setting records for how much money it took in over
its first five days. At the same time, though, the industry is
complaining that
the movie is available online. It appears that the
industry has some blinders on to reality: people want to see these
movies in the theater. They're selling out a record number of
showings and bringing in a stunning amount of money. If the
industry's fears were true, then everyone would just be sitting at
home downloading the movie, which is clearly available. Instead,
people want to see it at the theater. Going to the movies is a social
experience. You go with friends, and watch it on a big screen with a
great sound system and lots of others in the audience to enjoy the
overall experience. If the industry is really worried about
downloads, they should focus on making the
movie-going
experience even more enjoyable - and not just worry about where
the content is available.

Hey, Your Library's Books Are in My

12/19/2004 03:36 PMSo the big<
/a> news is about Google
and libraries. I don't feel the need to comment on this
right now, as you can find plenty of other places for that. However,
here are a few angles I haven't seen discussed elsewhere in the
library blogosphere.
- Librari
es and the Internet
"More broadly, the Internet can profoundly improve the relationship
between libraries and society. For example, there are two major
libraries in my town -- a college library, and a public library. My
library card works in both places. I used to favor the college
library, because there was open WiFi access there -- which meant,
among other things, that I could use LibraryLookup from my laptop to
find books in the stacks. Recently, though, the college shut down its
open access point. And from an IT administrator's point of view, I can
understand why. Not long after, the public library installed an open
access point. So now it's my favorite spot, and lately I notice other
mobile professionals congregating there too." [Jon Udell's
Weblog
(Click over to read Jon's story about getting locked in
the library, too!)
- "A quick calculation using the figures above suggests an average
scan rate of 3200 volumes per day (assuming 365 days/year for 6 years)
at the University of Michigan site alone." [Tito Sierra on the WEB4
LIB mailing list]
- "An even quicker calculation shows that they will need to
digitize 2.25 books _a_minute_, 24 hours/day, 365 days/year to
digitize 7 million volumes in six years." [Roy Tennant on the WEB4
LIB mailing list]
