Our Ebook Future

The reading ecosystem is evolving fast, even as you read this. Facing the rapid transition to ebooks together, rather than in isolated camps, librarians, publishers, authors, and readers can ensure that we meet our missions on all fronts. This series of conversations is a start, aspiring to illuminate the issues and opportunities by placing librarians and publishers at the same table. The personalities here range from Random House's Madeline McIntosh, who stresses a commonality between publishers and librarians, to HarperCollins's Josh Marwell, who strives to emphasize openness, to Melville House's Dennis Johnson, who illuminates the indie perspective.
