Kipple: 5 years later

Within five years, all the eBook will cost 99 cents

[ taken from booksblog.it, published by Roberto Russo ]

About a year ago we asked you what do you think would cost an eBook. Most of the responses to our survey indicated that an ebook should cost 50% less than the paper, although it was stated in comments that could be much lower.

Since last year, water has passed under the bridge and the eBook market is growing (though the fact remains that if they talk a lot, a lot of respect to those who sell eBooks in reality). For the discussion of prices, is increasingly gaining awareness of the publishers that the price must be kept low: those who do not lower it on its way out from the logic of the market, because of the pricing policy implemented by the authors who self-publish directly, without passing by the publishers. But

lower them to what? According to Kevin Kelly to be in five years, digital books will cost 99 cents. Kelly himself says that this is not good news for the publishers nor the authors, but it is, without doubt, the readers.

Dear friends,

HIGH, while preserving its own freedom of action, maintain a close relationship with the ' AIT, since the goal high and to undertake a series of cultural projects aimed at reflecting on the relationship between architectural discipline (and its evolution) and the requirement that short can be defined as contemporary: the posthuman. The line of research may indeed HIGH summarized in the investigation of possible synergies between the technical and artistic developments in architecture and self-directed human evolution.
It is very important to note up front that you should understand the term "transarchitectures" as the contraction of Architecture and Transhumanism. but as something much more subtle: the root of "trans", which refers to some beyond the object in question, HIGH will study and reflect on the events of ' ; architecture that transcend the physicality of its products. No coincidence that the acronym refers to the name of HIGH and fantastic future city born from the pen of Francesco Verso, from his book Human Antidotes.
Specifically, the study will be the subject of architectural imagery, the relationship between architecture, film and literature, utopias of the most varied and colorful, the most heterogeneous changes that technology will allow for common buildings and emergencies ... In short, all that really matters: the ethereal, the superfluous! Provided it is beautifully futile ...
then declare born today, March 8, the project HIGH, the date which marks the February Revolution in Russia, according to the Orthodox calendar coinciding with February 23, the anniversary of the storming of the Paris Commune, and days when it was compiled and printed the articles of association. Dates are not random: it is only in the revolutions that we have that enrichment of symbolic goods capable of giving a radical evolution in the collective imagination!

Digital Fictions / How to read an ebook without a e-reader?

Let's face it: we are lazy and fearful. Afraid to abandon old habits and care to try new things, afraid of being disappointed by so-called news, too fearful to spend a lot of money unnecessarily. So nothing to do, for now we remain faithful to the books of paper and then time will tell ... But if there was a way to read an ebook without spending anything, without buying a dedicated player, doing great on our computer or on our smartphones?

This way there - in fact, these modes. Are programs, free software to download and install in a snap two moments. Besides, who uses a computer reads an ebook every time he opens a pdf file or a txt or doc - ok, maybe the sales charts or the user of the dishwasher are not * exactly * an ebook, but the format is the itself. How to read these files - if they contain, for example, a novel - by making the on-screen reading looks a bit 'to that of a paper book, is what we explain in today's Digital Fictions. We said, just download the programs, vediamoli:

1) Room

A small program designed for iPhone, iPad iPod and anhée but that there is in "Desktop" for Mac and PC (though with reduced functionality) for Windows . It works a bit 'like iTunes that allows you to catalog your ebooks, browse the covers, and change the layout when you read (enlarge the fonts, spacing etc.).. Reads virtually all formats, except that of the "Kindle books, Amazon's ebooks formats mobi. For these there ...

2)

Kindle Edition software is free for seven of seven different platforms, which allow you to read ebooks from Amazon almost anywhere on your PC, Mac, iPhone or the Android, and even on BalckBerry! Do not have a Kindle? Not a problem.

3) EPUBReader

And if you are just lazy, or really spent the whole day in front of the monitor, EPUBReader is right for you: a simple extension for Mozilla Firefox, which reads the epub format (most common) directly into the browser, there's a very kind gentleman who made a video to explain how get!

4) Adobe Digital Editions

A program in the round, well structured, you download free and in turn serves to download and open ebooks purchased on the net (especially those burdened by heavy DRM ...) to catalog them and to read on the screen. Beautiful and useful, like all things that Adobe does, even if it is a bit 'sad to think that it is associated with a type of digital book market, full of restrictions.

Finally, there even the most popular program for those who read ebooks: Calibre, to be honest that is mainly to carry out conversion between different formats and management of the library, but which has within it a kind of viewer that allows you to browse - now I do - all the popular formats.

You have no more excuses. And not to "convert" the digital and "renounce" the book of paper: this is a false problem, because the two types of reading are not mutually exclusive but complement each other. You have no excuse anymore to read an ebook - on your computer, on your phone - make a picture and send it to our contest!

loans, self-publishing, micro: the debate in Italy

[Read about Corriere.it - \u200b\u200bAlessia Rastelli ]


The market is still small but growing confirmation. Estimates of the Italian Publishers (AIE) and the main protagonists of digital publishing, electronic titles available at this time in Italy there are about 7000 of a total of 450 000 books total (0.1%). Last December 5900 and were expected to be able to reach 20,000 by the end of 2011.
update the figures on the ebook is in Rimini, is ongoing in the three-day exhibition and conference on publishing digital Ebook Lab Italy. 'Keep this meeting is important now because you can give a direction to a market that is still embryonic "points out Antonio Tombolini, CEO of Simplicissimus Book Farm, one of the organizers of the event. In fact, in Rimini, as forecast, came all the players in the ebook, to exchange views on topics ranging from content to media technology and the business model.

"The paper books will disappear for sure," he proclaimed Riccardo Cavallero, Director-General of Trade Books Mondadori. In its report emphasized that, as with the printed newspaper and online, including in the field of books have already entered the phase in which the old system is in crisis but the new product (ebook) is not yet able to generate sufficient returns. "Digital Publishing in all published immediately publish economic," the recipe immediately. In the long run, however, a deeper structural change: "We are studying how to get to sell subscriptions instead of individual ebook to cover price. At that point the publisher will become a sort of large library: books will not sell in the strict sense but licenses, as do, for TV, Sky and Mediaset Premium. "
Meanwhile, e-readers will begin to acquire securities in an alternative way in the coming weeks. Marco Croella, leading publishing services to Simplicissimus Book Farm, has announced the launch of a loan system for a day or a week, individual titles. Can initially only from the store of Simplicissimus, the average price of 99 cents for 24 hours, then the mechanism will be extended to other online stores linked to the platform and will be based on Adobe's DRM, which in this case will act as a protection system time. 'The same principle - adds Croella - can be applied in the coming months for the loan of an ebook from the library. " A united front on which it has already moved the platform of RCS, Feltrinelli, Gems, Edigio. "Thanks to an agreement with MediaLibrary, structure of digital services, from mid-March, the library can purchase the ebook file with our editors and then manage the loan, "explained the Director-General Renato Salvetti. Still from Simplicissimus, the last ad of the day: the opening in a few days, in the form of Free Application for iPad, sleep, the first online newspaper kiosk where you can buy (and keep) the papers.
payment systems and self-publishing, finally, the other major themes of the day. Marco Calvo, head of the archive of books and music websites Liber Liber, said during a workshop the idea of \u200b\u200bforms of online micro-payment for each digital content, "What the book is a poor market: This solution would help independent authors and encourage the quality of production, "he said. The topic has been addressed by both dell'autopubblicazione Antonio Tombolini that a writer in first person, Polish Piotr Kowalczyk. The first pointed out the program of self-publishing digital Simplicissimus, Narcissus, an experiment "to be read useful to readers and publishers to find authors from a wider pool."
Kowalczyk, however, said his experience as a writer who has self-publish. Collections of short stories aimed at mobile phones, mainly because its output: more than 50 000 times downloaded and available, among others, on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Kobo.

Ebook Lab More cruelty, less drugs

Today, March 4, Antonin Artaud died 63 years ago, in a mental hospital for malattrie, stuffed with chloral.
It is well worth the effort, indeed, the "cruelty" to say a few words about the great French playwright, creator of the "theater of cruelty" (manifesto written in 1932). And Artaud
deserves at least two reasons: first, for formulating theories of theater and speech, which summarize the concepts of ancient and modern, and open up new light on literature, poetry and theater, which now allows light to still have a 'good art, full of pathos, of real emotion (of cruelty, in fact), an art that comes close to "panta rei" the evolution of human life. The reaction to positivism on the one hand, and the religious dogmatism on the other hand, gives new life to art, darkness el'esoterismo no longer represent only the evil, but a world of magical experiences. Artaud says: "The words, as well as in the logical sense, will also be used in the incantatory sense, really magical, that is, not only for their meaning but also for their form and their emanations sensitive." And again: "The ideas I suffer, I make them up himself, step by step, I write only what I have suffered from point to point throughout my body, I wrote what I've always found through the torments of the soul and body ". Two themes anticipating twentieth-century art (the word as sound and the body as an object d'art).
But let's not forget the second reason why it is worth remembering this great artist, Antonin Artaud was arrested in 1937, he was put in a straitjacket and is confined in different hospitals, where fifty-one experience falls into a coma from shock.
We shall never to tell cruelty, yes, evil, half of the nineteenth and twentieth century medical pseudosienza. Even today, we talk about this technique that "gets some useful results," which has a bad reputation because "someone has abused" and he speaks badly in movies and books (Wikipedia)!
In our opinion, each session of electroshock is an abuse of the human body as of mind, because even if there had been improvements, are not considered very harmful side effects of the technique.
But instead of speaking of the supporters of this technique, which I hope and believe they are endangered, I would open a debate on the techniques that today REPLACEMENT electroshock: psychotropic drugs. Antidepressants, anxiolytics, hypnotics, sleeping pills. Our idea is that even today that the medicine does not have complete control over the use and effects of these drugs, the approach is still empirical too, that we evaluate only the desired effects, and adverse events underestimating and the causes of disease must be cured. In this case, we are aware, there are cases for which these drugs have effects that benign and cure disease, but we are far less than the medicine believes (or pretends), and strongly denounced the abuse in large quantities (and quality) of drugs that doctors prescribe today as they were candy.

Ebook, how was the first year

[Read about Fantascienza.com - Author: Silvio Sosio ]


Everybody talks about growth, percentage increase from the charts, but there are few who really have the courage to get out of absolute values \u200b\u200bin the world of electronic books. Even Amazon, which occasionally shoot some press release announcing that ebooks have sold more of this or that kind of books, never says in absolute terms how much money or how many copies of this match.
He did it yesterday on his blog Tombolini Antonio, with an estimate, of course (since it does not give any precise data), but certainly if there is someone in Italy who can make an estimate of the kind he is the founder of Simplicissimus the first and most important Italian distributor of ebooks.
The figure, according Tombolini, is 65,000 copies sold in 2010, almost all concentrated between October and December when the library online began to open. For a total turnover of 700,000 €, 0.05% of book market. Delos Books

his part - and here the data is safe - has sold 895 copies in 2010, which would mean that today our publishing house is the first, 13% of the Italian electronic book. We are happy with the result: the percentage of monthly sales increases, although not at a dizzying pace (30 to 60% depending on the month). We have a catalog of 70 titles and certainly exceed one hundred this year. According

Tombolini the number of copies sold in 2011 should rise to at least 400,000, which we believe is a very conservative estimate, less than twice the previous year whereas we speak of 12 months compared to just over three in 2010.
But let's be clear: The ebook market is small and grows more slowly than expected. Probably blocked by trading strategies that appear to be specially made to hold him, perhaps fearing repercussions on sales of the printed book: high prices - the news is often more than 10 € - DRM and the main ball and chain, in our opinion. Has now been proved that low prices encourage the sale, not only in the number of copies (that would be obvious) but in the total turnover of the book.

If there's one thing for very long, medium and small publishers - from Newton Compton, reaching up to Delos Books, a Kipple for example - that the public at low prices and no DRM, the responsibility for these choices falls mainly the major industry players.
Large groups - Mondadori, GEMS, Feltrinelli, Rizzoli - are fixed on their policies that provide for DRM on everything, average prices for catalog titles and high for the news. And sure, the responsibility is not only publishers': even the big agents from Santachiara Bernabo impose these conditions: mandatory DRM, prices of books not less than 60 or 70% of the title printed. It is clearly a conservative position, and the rest is often dictated by the same foreign agents to which Italian officials are partners, a choice of waiting to see what happens and defend the author's own assets, but it certainly does not help the emergence of a new market and vice versa would need to be encouraged.

Going forward this will run two major risks. One is that of piracy, because what the editors do not pretend to understand is that the ebook does not have to deal with the price of the book, but with non-pirated ebook price. Affordable invites the reader to buy, a high price does hesitate, maybe write a controllatina that you can not find the title in another way. And sure, once the habit is taken, it will be harder to change course.

The second danger is called Amazon Kindle. If the ebook market in Italy is still limited to a hundred million e-book reader and a tablet (only a small part used as an ebook reader), when Amazon decides that it is time to open the European markets in the blink of an eye will wipe out everyone with his Kindle.
What Amazon is able to do as we have seen: he opened the shop in Italy with 30% discount on all books, causing serious damage to all other stakeholders and to the same library. Losing a lot of money, but gaining market share: the so-called dumping, that a giant like Amazon can afford without blinking. If you require Amazon Kindle in Europe as the standard, distributors and online booksellers will be the first to lose, but soon will be publishers and agents, who will no longer have any weight in the discussion an operator who will control not only the ebook market but also the market of the printed book.
And ultimately, lacking freedom of choice and competition, everything will go even to the detriment of the user.

It's time to give an alarm. Do not really think that in twenty, thirty, fifty years to publish a book you will still need inks spread on the meat of the trees, right? It will be the case then maybe you start to really understand what we want our future.
