It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Interesting. Your linear perspective on it is diametrically opposed to what I read earlier. I am still mulling over the various points of view, but I'm inclined heavily toward yours. And regardless, that's what is so good about modern-day democracy and the marketplace of ideas online. I was scanning something else about this on another blog. Interesting.

Hope they’re paying attention)." I think rilnj has made an important point. Sometimes it seems like the various parts of this evolving industry are each running on a separate track. Survival (certainly of bookstores, probably of authors being able to earn a living, and maybe of the publishing industry itself) depends on cooperation, ideas flowering from different perspectives. I hope we'll see more of that at events like DBW and BEA, but I don't know how much time we have. “Certainly BEA could use more focus on these topics (haven’t seen anyone from ABA or BEA here at DBW.

I daresay many authors might say "But I don't want to be an app!" Hmmm. If you don't want to learn more about digital media and how it affects books, then take a good, long, hard look at what your goals in publishing are. Options still exist for Luddites, but they have different rewards. Robin, thanks for such a terrific comment, and especially about the bricks-and-mortar part of the equation being AWOL. The thing is, authors still depend on bricks-and-mortar. How can we take that great relationship and morph it for the DBW PLUS BEA World?

There is still a mentality that authors deliver content and publishers publish it. But it needs to be a partnership. What resources do publishers have to enhance authors' content (and this will be more and more important) and what resources do authors have to help publishers get that content into the hands of readers/consumers? Everyone is testing the waters right now, and perhaps this first DBW really needed to focus on the underlying structure of the industry itself. As for BEA, I don't see BEA as even the content side, just another piece of the delivery side, at least as in its current form. Historically BEA was a trade show to facilitate pubs selling to booksellers. I think it is time to bring authors into the mix.
