The Death of the Book has Been Greatly Exaggerated

http://www.technologyreview.com/view/420881/the-death-of-the-book-has-been-greatly-exaggerated/ Tech pundits recently moved up the date for the death of the book, to sometime around 2015 , inspired largely by the rapid adoption of the iPad and the success of Amazon’s Kindle e-reader. But in their rush to christen a new era of media consumption, have the pundits overreached? I’m calling the peak of inflated expectations now. Get ready for the next phase of the hype cycle - the trough of disillusionment. The signs of a hype bubble are all around us. Mostly in the form of irrational exuberance.

7 Visually Appealing Ways to Publish Documents Online

Last week after I and ten others released The Super Book of Web Tools for Educators I received a handful of emails asking either how I built the page-turning effects into the ebook or why I chose to use a 3rd party to host the ebook. I figure if a handful of people were curious enough to email me about it, there are probably others who are also curious about the same questions. I choose to use 3rd party services to host the ebooks I publish so that I can track how many times they're viewed and downloaded. The other reason I use 3rd party services to host the ebooks is because I like having the option of displaying the ebooks with page-turning effects.
