Books By The Byte
Yeah, I opened with a bad pun. Made me feel good.
The GuardianUK has a look at another way to get people to read books in the digital age:
“Dailylit.com puts paid to the excuse about not finding time for good books; now the books come to you, as daily morsels in your inbox. Over 800 books have been divided into bite-size pieces to be emailed to you every day. The books are complete editions and each instalment takes just a few minutes to read – as much time as it takes to update your Facebook profile.”
This is pretty cool even though they currently provide primarily books in the public domain. I think thiss would be a great way for publishers to launch new writers and build word-of-mouth.
