According to Galley Cat, Subtext is a new app that lets readers have Facebook-style discussions around books purchased from Google’s eBookstore.  That’s what Amazon proposed last Wednesday with its new @ author feature which is in beta release. Imagine as an author, receiving a question via Twitter from a person reading your book at that moment. Today, Amazon dropped the price of the basic Kindle to $79, and introduced three new Kindles. With the surge in e-book sales, agents are all trying to get into the act. As my novel is available as an ebook on Amazon and Smashwords, I’ve been monitoring the statistics on the sales of e-Readers closely. I’m honored to have been asked to participate in the panel discussion “Traditional Publishing or Self-Publishing: Which One’s for You?” presented by the Marin Branch of the California Writers Club this Saturday. In a recent post, Mark Coker, CEO of Smashwords, said he was so excited about the opportunity for literary agents to help their clients do indie eBooks that he created a new road map for them. A couple of weeks ago, the NYT Book Review had an interesting piece by Lev Grossman on history of the book. The eBook version of my novel is by far outselling the print version. I’m quite interested in what the future holds for this exciting technology. Thanks to the Spirited Woman for including my novel in their list of twelve recommended summer reads. |
