http://jakonrath.blogspot.com/2012/08/ebooks-for-libraries.html Joe sez: I recently got an interesting email from a library in Texas. In short, they're setting up their own internal check-out system for ebooks, and are seeking to buy ebooks directly from authors and publishers.

Ebooks For Libraries

If you have ever wanted to write a book and get it published, Apple’s latest— and possibly game changing software–iBooks Author might very well be the easiest and fastest way to get it done. Apple recently introduced iBooks Author in a live presentation at the Guggenheim in New York. The software is aimed at textbook writers and publishers, but it can just as well be used for producing cookbooks, picture books, interactive fiction novels, how-to books, and the like. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/write-book-ibooks-author/

http://www.the-digital-reader.com/2012/07/26/rekiosk-could-be-a-new-option-for-self-pub-authors/#.UVO2vtF-P0N A press release came across my desk this morning, and while I hesitate to promote one before there’s real public feedback, this new service could be interesting. There’s a company called reKiosk, and they’re launching a digital storefront service next month. According to the press release the service is in private beta today, and it is scheduled to open to the public in mid August. reKiosk isn’t quite offering any of the services I’m used to, so a little background may be in order. When it comes to selling ebooks I’m sure you know that there are a range of options for authors to choose from, with some offering more services (and charging more money) all the way down the line to no-frill ebook distributors (who pay a larger share).
