The Reader did not kill the book, she allowed other uses. (Amelia Schmidt / CC / Flickr.com.) The books have not said their last word.
At a time when the readings are tactile, the world of printed book is reinvented. True, he continues to create magic simple escape available to everyone, everywhere.
Traditionally, books are my companions, as friends of paper that offer instant escape. From childhood, they slip into the adventures of everyday life, and are dreaming of imaginary worlds, nonchalantly.
In the last book fair of Paris as an eternal spirit . The paper does not seem to melt as fast as some have been expected since the advent of e-readers. There has to be a slow erosion, but uses always seem to give meaning to the art of flip, turn the pages, getting lost on instinct in words, and share them too.
Reviews called opinion
To understand how the web was not the developer of talent that we have dreamed, we must look at the workings of our own modes. Whose recommendation, prescription choices to our friends, our relatives.
Marketing has taken over all digital spaces where speech is free to value this way ever to make his point view of the world. Therefore, the books have gone the same way; bestsellers increase their popularity as the effect of a snowball that does not fear the avalanche of titles available.
Reviews called opinion, the strategy to enhance the cultural consensus by through votes “social” enhances contrast in favor of what is known, able to muster.
Diversity is not waiting for you, same with internet
Recent studies have shown that the volume of catalogs posted is not operated by the Internet. Originally, much of the Eldorado has been able to represent the web stood on the principle of dematerialization: bookstores million shares are now possible to upload
Such! dimensions are unimaginable in real life, we have been able to dream of the coming of a rich culture complexes and finally to everyone. The economic theory of the “Long Tail” (long tail) has finally been an illusion.
The little-known books, small publishers without means of communication, skillfully obscure authors, constitute not as wide as only a few bestsellers showcased on the heads of gondolas digital community. Diversity is not waiting for you.
Aksebo.com, the recommendations of a good friend
This is what inspired finding some philosophy driven by the “box book” Aksebo.com, I created: make it possible for readers to access readings outside their area of current recommendation. A bit like could a good friend an original strand, mind full of malice and accomplice eye.
Far retargeting commercial sites whose proximity is too close to your profile, determined by your past purchases, allows no real surprise.
This concept is an alternative to traditional distribution circuit in its destination because it offers the pleasure of being surprised, but also in its more original meaning. It positions even before the death of a work, supported by its publisher, read, corrected, highlighted then lost in the vastness of an offer where current premium.
Cause Dating
The pestle of the book, it is a reality for 100 million shares being lost annually in France. Not play as few visible with inaudible recommendation in digital oceans, placed on the market by the conviction and removed by force from the market.
In negotiating both recent titles as books already oldest My goal is to save the book shed light on publishers who are struggling in the shadow of the retail and media headlands. And valuing equally the rich fund worn by most prestigious brands, often immense authors incubators.
Move readers where they have never been beyond the shackles of their habits, support creation, as many axes to rethink the book much better than the infinite freedom displayed by digital. The vastness of possibilities, initiating meetings seems to be emerging as the best solution next to the laziness of our return to the known tags.

In my case, I discovered, downloaded and read books found in the catalog -.

And the internet is there to give ideas for reading, Wikipedia and others, but not only. Now it is I who gave my mother the ideas of books to read, she read just about everything in his library. But alas, his local library (although that of a large city in France) does not follow and it is a small part of what I recommend him.
It is true that I am intellectually curious and I will not let myself be overwhelmed by commercial recommendations for successful writers on the site where I buy my ebooks.
I live abroad for years, for me, the reading light is THE solution for reading in my language, and since I have, I read PLUS before. Regardless of the medium, whether paper or electronic content, the imp

The problem of “heads using” you mention also applies to digital, plus the phenomenon “indie”, the self-published authors who are much more numerous in e-books due to the absence of costs. There are millions of books that are written today and have no visibility due to lack of marketing, and the media is not in question.
Opposition paper / digital is in my not to put: they are media. One is that of the past (the paper), the other that of the future (e), but we are still in the transition phase. Those who have lived with the paper will struggle to break away, and migration is complicated by the fact that current supports are not actually taken any scale mass consumption. When stabilization technology and the market will take place, the paper will probably intended for collectibles, the deluxe editions.
I found your particularly interesting initiative as an author “indie” … edited format Digital:)

avid reader, I converted to the Kindle to continue reading despite my vision problems.
I discovered the convenience of ! thing that allows me to lug my library including all
Only drawback, the price of books, maintained to the highest by publishers, while the electronic edition costs less: no paper, less distribution costs, and even more often under copyright!
The Reader can perfectly coexist with a real library, it is even the perfect complement.
attitude of publishers and booksellers face this progress is incomprehensible.
