eBookNewser: Be Not E-fraid

Welcome to eBookNewser, the thirteenth blog in the mediabistro.com network and GalleyCat's digitally obsessed sibling. This site will cover eBooks, digital reading devices, publishing technology, smartphone reading applications, digital self-publishing, and the rapidly evolving future of digital publishing. From the National Book Awards podium to meeting rooms in conglomerate publishing houses, the industry is very anxious about the future of books. As the digital reading increases over the next few years, publishers, authors, and readers need to reconcile these fears about the future. As we build the eBook Newser community, we hope to start a more productive conversation about the future of eBooks. The blog is staffed by publishing journalist Craig Morgan Teicher and GalleyCat editor Jason Boog. You can follow the blog on our Twitter page as well.
